Annotation Interface Inheritance
Specifies the inheritance strategy to be used for an entity class
hierarchy. It is specified on the entity class that is the root of
the entity class hierarchy. If the
Inheritance
annotation is not
specified or if no inheritance type is specified for an entity
class hierarchy, the SINGLE_TABLE mapping strategy is used.
Example:
@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy=JOINED)
public class Customer { ... }
@Entity
public class ValuedCustomer extends Customer { ... }
