Thomas Dudziak commented on OJB-65:
-----------------------------------

Yeah, we definitely want something like that. It however requires a rework of 
the handling of the repository XML file, which I'm currently working on. So 
expect that to come later this year (though I cannot give an exact time frame).
Note however that the handling of mappings to multiple joined tables has 
nothing to do with the inheritance of fields/references/collections, especially 
not if you want to map one class to multiple tables (whether with or without 
inheritance).

> Allow field-descriptor inheritance for sub-classes

> When using "extent-classes" the field-descriptor declared in the 
> super-classes will not be inherited to the sub-classes. Each sub-class have 
> to declare all fields of the super-classes.
> Think the inheritance of fields declared in super-classes could be handled by 
> the metadata classes when reading the repository file. When we introduce an 
> attribute 'allowInherit' in class-descriptor and field-descriptor element (by 
> default it's 'true' in CLD and "undefined" in FLD), OJB will be able to 
> inherit copies (copies needed, because each field-descriptor is associated 
> with a class-descriptor) of field-descriptor instances to the sub-classes.
