Inheritance in Hibernate OGM

How you can handle the inheritance mechanism in Hibernate OGM, in particular using MongoDB? In "Hibernate OGM Reference" I read that the inheritance mechanism is not supported by OGM. So there is a way to avoid the problem? Thanks

Solution

  • The documentation is misleading, inheritance is supported except for javax.persistence.InheritanceType#JOINED.

    This means that if your model is using javax.persistence.InheritanceType#SINGLE_TABLE or javax.persistence.InheritanceType#TABLE_PER_CLASS.

    You should be fine.
