Hi

I have the following hierarchy of entities
MedicalPersonnel (abstract class) (InheritanceType.JOINED)
>--- Nurse (concret class)
>--- Physician (concrett class)
and relation
MedicalPersonnel (OneToMany) MedicalDoc

When I've tried

MedicalPersonnel mp;
/* get a persisted and detached instance of MedicalPersonnel and assign with mp */
mp = em.merge(mp); //ClassCastException

What can I do against this?

Thx in advance, jtonic.
