So, I got things working (well, to the point where the list.get(1) call failed since my db was empty). I had to do the following to your code to make things work:
1. changed back to @MappedSuperclass in generated dir 2. added all the superclasses to persistence.xml 3. commented out Zzzupdates -- GregorianCalendar is not a legal id type 4. renamed a bunch of columns and table names to not be reserved keywords in Derby 5. fixed the GeneratedValue usage 6. renamed ....generated.Article to ....generated.ArticleBase I think that if you do 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, you should be in good shape. FYI, I was getting a very cryptic error when the system had a @MappedSuperclass called Article and an @Entity called Article. This is a bug in OpenJPA -- mapped superclasses should not have aliases. You can work around it by adding some postfix (as in ArticleBase) to all your mapped superclasses. Certainly this is something that we should fix, though. -Patrick -- Patrick Linskey BEA Systems, Inc. _______________________________________________________________________ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.
