继承映射

单表继承：每棵类继承树映射成一张表

<class name="Animal" table="T_ANIMAL"> <id name="id"> <generator class="native"></generator> </id> <discriminator column="type" type="string"> </discriminator> <property name="name" type="string"></property> <property name="sex"></property> <subclass name="Pig" discriminator-value="P"> <property name="weight"></property> </subclass> <subclass name="Bird" discriminator-value="B"> <property name="height"></property> </subclass> </class>

缺点：用一张表表示整个继承结构，会有大量的冗余字段，而且如果子类的独有属性被置为not-null，则无法保存，但仍然是最常用的继承映射

 

具体表继承：每个子类一张表

<class name="com.gss.entities.Friut" table="T_FRIUT"> <id name="id"> <generator class="native"> </generator> </id> <property name="name"></property> <joined-subclass name="com.gss.entities.Apple" table="T_APPLE"> <key column="PID"></key> <property name="color"></property> <property name="weight"></property> </joined-subclass> <joined-subclass name="com.gss.entities.Orange" table="T_ORANGE"> <key column="PID"> </key> <property name="color"></property> <property name="taste"></property> </joined-subclass> </class>

会产生三章表T_FRIUT,T_APPLE,T_ORANGE

其中T_APPLE和T_ORANGE功过PID字段外键引用T_FRIUT的ID字段，从而建立联系

缺点：会产生大量的表
