Howto handle inheritance with an abstract classes

[Nils Liebelt <ni...@candor.co.za>]

Hi,

I am struggling with a simple extend of an abstract class, trying to use
multiple joined tables.

I get following MetadataException: Can't create new base class object for
'za.co.ibn.datasolutions.entities.Contact'

A soon as I remove the abstract modifier everything works.

Here's my Repository:

<class-descriptor
    class="za.co.ibn.datasolutions.entities.Contact"
    table="Contact"
>
    <field-descriptor
        name="contactID"
        column="contactID"
        jdbc-type="INTEGER"
        primarykey="true"
        autoincrement="true"
    >
    </field-descriptor>
    <field-descriptor
        name="address"
        column="address"
        jdbc-type="VARCHAR"
        length="254"
    >
    </field-descriptor>
</class-descriptor>
<class-descriptor
    class="za.co.ibn.datasolutions.entities.Individual"
    table="Individual"
>
    <field-descriptor
        name="contactID"
        column="contactID"
        jdbc-type="INTEGER"
        primarykey="true"
        autoincrement="true"
    >
    </field-descriptor>
    <reference-descriptor
        name="super"
        class-ref="za.co.ibn.datasolutions.entities.Contact"
        auto-retrieve="true"
        auto-update="true"
        auto-delete="true"
    >
        <foreignkey field-ref="contactID"/>
    </reference-descriptor>
</class-descriptor>

It really don't know what else to try. Did everything according to the
advanced technique tutorial. 


Thanks,

Nils
