@EmbeddableSuperclass

[khalidhajsaleh]

Is there a good example of using @EmbeddableSuperclass with an abstract parent class?

I am having problems accessing attributes from the parent class in my subclass.

Here is the code:

@EmbeddableSuperclass(access=AccessType.FIELD)
@Table(name="Item")
public abstract class AItem implements IItem{
 @Id
 int id;
 @Column(name="name")
 String name;

 public abstract int getId();
 public abstract void setId(int id);
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
}


@Entity
@Table(name = "ITEM")
@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
public class ItemHSQL extends AItem implements Serializable
{
 final String CLASS_NAME="ItemHSQL";

 public ItemHSQL(){};
 public ItemHSQL(String name, double value)
 {
 this.name=name;
 this.value = value;
 }

 @Id(generate = GeneratorType.AUTO)
 public int getId ()
 {
 return id;
 }

}

The attribute name is not mapped to any column in the table. Any suggestions?

It works in my test suite.
note that redefining @Id on the subclass is not allowed.
