Why ? ...

Why @EmbeddableSuperclass doesn't works without @Entity annotation ??? This leads to creation of an empty table in DB.

@Entity(access = AccessType.FIELD)
// from now we MUST specify @Id field and SUPERCLASS table will be created
@EmbeddableSuperclass
public abstract class SuperClass {

@Id(generate = GeneratorType.TABLE)
@Column(name = "ID") // mapped in empty SUPERCLASS table
private int id = -1;

@Column(name = "SOME_VALUE") // mapped in empty SUPERCLASS table
private String someValue = null;

// Constructors, Get & Set methods here
// ...
}

@Entity(access = AccessType.FIELD)
public class ChildClass extends SuperClass {

// ID and SOME_VALUE are inherited and REmapped in CHILDCLASS table

@Column(name = "ANOTHER_VALUE") // also mapped in CHILDCLASS table
private String anotherValue = null;

// Constructors, Get & Set methods here
// ...
}

All this situation isn't correct. If You have a look at chapter 2.1.9.3 of JSR220 Java Persistence API (Public Draft) You will see a very good example of CORRECT use of @EmbeddableSuperclass which doesn't work in JBoss + EJB3 Beta1.

It's a BUG ???

Thanks.

@embeddedSuperclass should not be used in conjunction with @Entity.
The whole issue is that you have to explicitly declare the @EmbeddedSuperclasses in your persistence.xml for this release
This is now fixed in hibernate anntations.

What tag I should use in persistence.xml for definition of @EmbeddableSuperclass? <c1ass> does not work.

<c1ass>platform.data.AuditableEntity</c1ass>

PS: 1(Number One) is used in examples above instead of letter 'L' because tag CLASS is reserved in HTML.

Hi!

Did you manage to workaround this issue?

I'm having this problem too, and the class tag dosen't work either!

Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry guys, this is probably a bug in the JBoss EJB3 parsing. You should use an hibernate.cfg.xml while waiting for the next release.

Shouldn't this issue be posted in the JIRA?
