I'd like to model a superclass and a subclass that store all attributes of the superclass in a
common table with attributes specific to the subclass(es) in their own table. The superclass would have a "type" attribute that I want to use to distinguish between the specific type of object stored in the database. see: . At the end of the day, I want to be able to ask for all of the superclasses as well as being able to ask for all of a specific subclass. Am I making _any_ sense :-) I understand hibernate might support this via a discriminator, but I haven't figured out how to get this to generate the java/sql I want. Any suggestion appreciated! Some examples of various class diagrams would be a great help to newbies as myself--I mean class-only diagram models, not full-blown use-case/activity/whatever diagrams--it is far easier to drink from a faucet than a fire hydrant :-) (I understand that the "type" attributes I have in my subclasses don't work with andromda, but I didn't know any better way to express the intent) cheers.
