It is possible that I can use one entity for some tables? [message #385998]

Hi again,
and some more newbie question.

At my project I have some constraints tables like
CON_CC, CON_STATUS ....

All this tables have the same 2 columns as
value (varchar, primary key) and descr (varchar)

And all entries of this tables ar only readable and later will be used
to build selection lists or for entries in ContentProposal's.

It is posibble to use only one class for all entries from the diffrent
tables or I have to build one class for every table?

And no I dont want take all entries in one table because than this real
big list will not be maintainable and an other application which uses
the same tables needs this constraints seperatly (and I cant change the
code from the other app :( )

And again

Thanks in advance,
Heiko

Not really.

You could define a MappedSuperclass that maps the fields, but would still
need one subclass per table to define the table.

It may also be possible to define a view on the database that unions all
the tables, and map a single class to the view.

Hi James,

Argh this will be over 120 subclasses later. :(
