ojb does not support inheritence of field- and relationship-descriptors. but there are some discussions going on regarding this feature.

Is there anyway to have a class-descriptor inherit the mappings of a previously defined class-descriptor?
Example:
AB is an interface. A implements AB and B extends A.
<class-descriptor class="AB" >
<extent-class class-ref="A" /> <extent-class class-ref="B" />
</class-descriptor>
<class-descriptor class="A" table="AB">
<field-descriptor name="id"column="ID" jdbc-type="INTEGER" primarykey="true"
autoincrement="true"
/>
<field-descriptor name="name" column="NAME" jdbc-type="VARCHAR"/>
</class-descriptor>
The question: How can define the class-descriptor for B without having to copy the identical mappings from A?
I tried using the "extends" attribute of class-descriptor on hunch that's what it was for, however, no dice.
There has got to be a simple way to accomplish this, however, I have yet to find it.
Using 1.0rc3.
