Chris,

Just to clarify -- are you saying it's not possible to create the User instance without also creating a new Person instance? Maybe my example was not too clear. Let me re-explain:

I have a base class A with two subclasses, B1 and B2. I have already created an instance of B1 and stored it to the database, which means that an A record and a B1 record were inserted. I now want to create an instance of B2 that extends from the same A record as B1. Is this possible?

Thanks again.

Matt,

I believe since the Person and Student object exist it will set there
values to null except the personId.  Because in the User instance you are
storing allthe other fields are null (if you set them to null when you
declare them) except the loginName.  So, ojb will know that person and
student 001 exist and will do and update instead of an insert.

You should create them on the first store.  Or do not have user extend
Student, instead have a 1:1 relationship.  Depends on your requirments i
guess.

I'm trying to figure out how to store a new persisted object that
extends a pre-existing object.

For example, I have 3 classes: Person, Student, and User.  Student and
User extend Person.  A Student object already exists, and I now want to
create a User object that inherits from the same Person as the Student
object.  Is this possible?  Here's a code example:

User user = new User();
user.setLoginName("matt");
user.setPersonOid("001"); // A pre-existing person

broker.beginTransaction();
broker.store(user);
broker.commitTransaction();

The result of the above code is a NEW empty person object being created
with a newly generated OID (via a sequence).  How can I associate the
new User with a pre-existing Person?

Thanks again.

Matt
