Overriding the generated value inherited from a mapped super

[d-rock]

If I have a class:

@Entity
@MappedSuperclass
@SequenceGenerator(name = "log_id_seq", sequenceName = "log_id_seq")
public class LogEntry implements Serializable {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 protected Long id;
 protected Date timestamp;
 protected Actor actor;
 protected String location;
 protected String summary;

 @Id
 @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "log_id_seq")
 public Long getId() {
 return id;
 }

 // The rest of the getters/setters...
}

Can I override the generated value generator in subclasses somehow? I'd like to have a separate sequence for each subclass if possible.

Thanks,

Derek

nope this is not possible

PS entity and mappedsuperclass on the same class does not make sense

Doh. Well, that explains a lot. I wasn't even thinking about that, just blindly put Entity in there by force of habit. Having the @Entity tag on the @MappedSuperclass was causing the deployer to come up with some really bizarre @Id errors. I removed @Entity and it's all happy now.

Thanks,
