I've also been thinking of extending the original User class by adding more
properties to it. The way I did it was to extract the core model classes
from appfuse, add @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED) to the
User.java, and then create a new class which extends User, and add @Entity
to it.
hibernate 3 annotations without adding a @Inheritance(strategy=JOINED) to
the master class.
