--------------------------------------------

Hi Pinaki,

The issue is not about Artist.getItems().
The issue is about when I do Artist.getBOOKS() then movies are also returned, 
which I guess is an error.

Book extend Item and Movie extend Item.
Artist has one to many relation with both Book and Movie.

In this scenario, when I do artist.getBooks() then, I think, the expected 
behavior is to return only books and not movies.

If you think it is not an error then I can switch the default value of 
superclassDiscriminatorStrategyByDefault to be false.
This will return both books and movies when I do artist.getBooks().

If a user do not want to get both books and movies when artist.getBooks() is 
called, then they can do one of the below :

1. use openJPA specific annotation ElementClassCriteria  to get only books.
2. use superclassDiscriminatorStrategyByDefault = true to get only books.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Ravi.
