Mapping inherited id attribute [message #385404]

Dear fellow members,

I would like to inherit an id attribute from a mapped superclass using a
Table sequence generator. However, I would like the column names and the
sequence names to be different for the subclasses. I found this question
asked here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink /msg00180.html,
but I could not figure it out. If a DescriptorCustomizer is the way to do
this, could you provide an example? I cannot find anything explicit in
the documentation.

Thanks,

David

JPA does not allow you to override a generator in a subclass.

To use a DescriptorCustomizer it would do something like:

public class MyCustomizer implements DescriptorCustomizer {
public void customize(ClassDescriptor descriptor) {
descriptor.setSequenceName("SUB_SEQ");
}
}

Where SUB_SEQ was another sequence generator that you defined.

For a list of ClassDescriptor API see,
