如果你并不打算使用类继承结构并不是很有必要阅读本文。请先阅读我写的另一篇文章 "使用hibernate扩展工具hbm2javatask根据配置文件生成持久化对象类(2.1.2)"1.在文档第8章(hibernate/doc/reference/zh-cn/html/inheritance.html)有提到

“每个子类一个表”的映射是这样的：

<class name="payment" table="payment"> <id name="id" type="long" column="payment_id"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <property name="amount" column="amount"/> ... <joined-subclass name="creditcardpayment" table="credit_payment"> <key column="payment_id"/> ... </joined-subclass> <joined-subclass name="cashpayment" table="cash_payment"> <key column="payment_id"/> ... </joined-subclass> <joined-subclass name="chequepayment" table="cheque_payment"> <key column="payment_id"/> ... </joined-subclass></class>

2.文档第5章(hibernate/doc/reference/zh-cn/html/mapping.html)有提到

允许在独立的映射文档中定义subclass和joined-subclass，直接位于hibernate-mapping下。这就可以让你每次扩展你的类层次的时候，加入新的映射文件就行了。在子类的映射中你必须指定一个extents属性，指明先前已经映射过的超类。使用这个功能的时候，一定要注意映射文件的排序是非常重要的！

<hibernate-mapping> <subclass name="eg.subclass.domesticcat" extends="eg.cat" discriminator-value="d"> <property name="name" type="string"/> </subclass></hibernate-mapping>
3.根据以上两点，偶根据第8章的payment创建了一个工程，把joined-subclass移了出来，现在工程目录结构如下 payment  <dir>|-src  <dir>|-hbm  <dir>  |-payment  <dir>    |-payment.hbm.xml    |-creditcardpayment.hbm.xml    |-cashpayment.hbm.xml|-classes  <dir>|-lib  <dir>|-build.xml|-hibernate.codegen.xml|-log4j.properties4. 本文不再重复build.xml, hibernate.codegen.xml, log4j.properties三个文件的内容。可在"使用hibernate扩展工具hbm2javatask根据配置文件生成持久化对象类(2.1.2)"一文查看这三个文件的内容。此处仅列出.hbm.xml文件内容。  4.1 payment.hbm.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="gbk"?><!doctype hibernate-mapping public "-//hibernate/hibernate mapping dtd//en" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd"><hibernate-mapping>  <class name="payment.payment" table="payment">    <id name="id" type="long" column="payment_id">      <generator class="native"/>    </id>    <property name="amount" column="amount" type="long"/>  </class></hibernate-mapping>  4.2 creditcardpayment.hbm.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="gbk"?><!doctype hibernate-mapping public "-//hibernate/hibernate mapping dtd//en" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd"><hibernate-mapping><joined-subclass name="payment.creditcardpayment" table="credit_payment" extends="payment.payment"> <key column="payment_id"/></joined-subclass></hibernate-mapping>
  4.3 cashpayment.hbm.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="gbk"?><!doctype hibernate-mapping public "-//hibernate/hibernate mapping dtd//en" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd"><hibernate-mapping><joined-subclass name="payment.cashpayment" table="cash_payment" extends="payment.payment"> <key column="payment_id"/></joined-subclass></hibernate-mapping>
5.在命令行进入工程目录，运行ant，发生错误，关键提示如下： net.sf.hibernate.mappingexception: cannot extend unmapped class payment.payment6.查错过程我就不说了，比较无聊，只说一下问题出在哪里  6.1 hbm2javatask里对配置文件列表做了循环，每个文件单独处理，所以有关联的类就找不到了。   6.2 但是codegenerator类也有不妥，没有考虑文件排列问题，因为子类可能先于父类被处理。7.下面帖出两个修改过的文件代码。在修改的地方加了中文注释。  7.1 net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.hbm2javatask
