    InheritanceType.JOINED and tables structures

    infodavid

      I have this code :

      @javax.persistence.Entity(access = AccessType.PROPERTY)
      @Table(name = "ENTITIES")
      @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
      public class Entity extends AbstractSimpleEntity implements IEntity {
      @Id(generate = GeneratorType.TABLE)
      @Column(name = "entity_id", nullable = false, unique = true)
      public long getPrimaryKey() { return id; }
      ...
      }

      and

      @Entity(access = AccessType.PROPERTY)
      @Table(name = "PERSONS")
      @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
      @PrimaryKeyJoinColumns( { @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn( name = "entity_id", referencedColumnName = "entity_id") } )
      @Remote(IPerson.class)
      public class Person extends org.infodavid.par.Entity implements IPerson { ... }

      the first table is ok and like :

      CREATE TABLE ENTITIES (
      entity_id INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY (START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1) PRIMARY KEY,
      ...
      )

      the second table seems not ok because the only key I have is 'entity_id' and no second key like 'person_id'. See what I want to do :

      CREATE TABLE PERSONS (
      person_id INTEGER GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY(START WITH 0, INCREMENT BY 1) PRIMARY KEY,
      ...
      entity_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
      FOREIGN KEY (entity_id) REFERENCES ENTITIES(entity_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
      )

      JBoss has not created the column 'person_id'.

      How can it work if a person has the same id as the entity ? I would like to create an other subclass of 'Entity' (like Company or something like this) and I don't understand how it can work.
