embedded object: field does not exist [message #633924]

I created an Embedded object that I would like to reuse. The problem is that some of the fields in the embedded object are not always used.

For instance, I have an Address object that has addr1 and addr2 fields. There are some cases where I do not have an addr2 in the DB to map to (sometimes, I do!).

How do you get around this problem. Seems like it should be a simple override, but can't find info on it.

Thanks!

You can't do this with overrides.

You can have two different Address classes, one for each type of Address. You could potentially use inheritance in the embeddable for this, JPA does not support inheritance in Embeddables, but EclipseLink does support inheritance in Embeddable (only at runtime currently, you would need to define the mappings in code).
