Question

We create our tables automaticly via Hibernate by assigning:

@Table(name = "some_table") 

That used to work for “normal” entities. But when we have an abstract base class:

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
public class PersonBankAccount extends AbstractPersistable<Long> {

that is extended by

@Entity
@Table(name = "person_bank_account")
public class PersonBankAccountSimple extends PersonBankAccount {

The resulting table in the database is named

personbankaccount

What is going on here?

The autogenerator says:

table not found: PersonBankAccount 

when first creating it and on rerun he says:

table found: personbankaccount

Like I said, for normal tables everything works fine.

Answer 1

Shouldn’t be the name of table in the base class instead.

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@Table(name = "person_bank_account")
public class PersonBankAccount extends AbstractPersistable<Long> {
