Description:
A rewrite of the email I wrote after discovering this bug:

I think I've discovered a fairly serious bug with the joined-subclass class generation.  Max Anderson confirmed this sounds like a bug, so I'm adding it to JIRA.

(Please open attached hbm.xml file for reference when reading the rest of this description):

Given the schema, 

a User ISA Person ISA Party ISA DatabaseObject. 

However, the generated code for the User class calls (in its "minimal" 
constructor): 

super(dbCreationTs, emailAddresses, phoneNumbers, postalAddresses, name); 

There is no constructor in the Person class with that signature (however, there is one like that in the Party class, which is the "Grandparent" of User.  The Person class has only one constructor (no minimal constructor), and its signature is: 

Person (Calendar dbCreationTs, Set emailAddresses, Set phoneNumbers,  Set postalAddresses, String gender, PersonName name); 

Therefore, the User class, in its minimal constructor, is trying to call a super constructor that doesn't exist (its actually trying to call a Grandparent constructor). 

I manually typed in a minimal constructor for Person just like the full constructor above, but leaving out gender, since it is nullable. (I believe this is how you generate a "minimal" constructor - leaving out nullable fields - but I could be wrong).  After doing that, everything compiled fine.

Is there a way that an update could be written fairly soon?  Generated class compilation errors is a pretty substantial bug that would affect anyone.  I also can't continue my current project until the correct OO hierarchy is in place and compiles.  I am certainly willing to help out in any way that I can (testing, coding, etc).

Thanks!
