I don't feel it's a bug. The "type' property is a technical resource and is not part of the business as of DDD way of thinking i.e it is not a real property in real life.
If you really need this property (for indexing, I need it in a project), you can make of method which explore annotations like this : (here it is for MongoDb but for any ORM it's the same thing) and my base class is abstract so array_search always find something. public function getKeyType() { $reader = new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader(); $mapping = $reader->getClassAnnotation(new \ReflectionClass(__CLASS__), 'Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations\DiscriminatorMap'); return array_search(get_class($this), $mapping->value); } Hope this help -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
