Emmanuel Bernard commented on EJB-199:
--------------------------------------

christian is right, TABLE_PER_CLASS with the root class made abstract is the way to map your requirement.

> I think it should be possible to have polymorphic association to a class annotated as a MappedSuperclass. However, this combination throws an exception.
> The class Xyz is a super class for a couple of entity classes:
> @MappedSuperclass
> public abstract class Xyz{...}
> The following association to Xyz does not work (see exception below)
> @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
> @JoinColumns({...})
> private Xyz test;
> If it matters, each entity (the sub classes of Xyz) is annotated with
> @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS).
