@DiscriminatorColumn用法

1、多个entity对应同一张表，用一个字段区分
@Entity
@Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
@Table(name = "GRP_UNITINFO")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "GROUPFLG", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING)
@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)
@DiscriminatorValue(value = "2")
public class Unitinfo extends BaseActiveEntity implements java.io.Serializable {
  

@Entity
@Table(name = "GRP_UNITINFO")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "GROUPFLG", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING)
@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)
@DiscriminatorValue(value = "1")
public class Subgroup extends BaseActiveEntity implements java.io.Serializable{
  

@Entity
@Cache(usage=CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
@Table(name = "GRP_UNITINFO")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "GROUPFLG", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING)
@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)
@DiscriminatorValue(value = "0")

@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)可以用@ForceDiscriminator（org.hibernate.annotations.<em>ForceDiscriminator</em>）代替

@DiscriminatorColumn和@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)在使用时，大部分情况下应该一起使用才不会出问题，但为什么Hibernate却必须在使用时要指定@DiscriminatorOptions，而且@DiscriminatorOptions中force的默认值还是false呢？
当使用Discriminator应用于单表时，才需要使用@DiscriminatorOptions(force=true)，应用于JOIN_TABLE时，不需要此注解

首先看一下最顶层的父类EmployeeEO，代码如下所示。



EmployeeEO

@Entity

@Table(name = "tb_employee")

/**继承映射策略*/

@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)

/**标识字段定义*/

@DiscriminatorColumn(

name="employe
