Inheritance
mapping strategies.
The strategy and the discriminator column are only specified in the root of an entity class hierarchy or subhierarchy in which a different inheritance strategy is applied
If the DiscriminatorColumn
annotation is missing,
and a discriminator column is required, the name of the
discriminator column defaults to "DTYPE"
and the discriminator
type to DiscriminatorType.STRING
.
Example: @Entity @Table(name="CUST") @Inheritance(strategy=SINGLE_TABLE) @DiscriminatorColumn(name="DISC", discriminatorType=STRING, length=20) public class Customer { ... } @Entity public class ValuedCustomer extends Customer { ... }
