GORM Inheritence Mapping

Hi all,

Just like to point out a recently committed feature which extends the
capability of inheritence mapping.

It is now possible to define a domain model like below:

class Car {
Long id
Long version
String category
String model
}
class AlphaRomeo extends Car {
}
class Fiat extends Car {
}
class Ferrari extends Car {
}

And then use polymorphic dynamic finders:

def cars = Car.findAll() // will return all alphas, fiats and ferraris
def luxuryCars = Car.findAllByCategory('luxury') // get all luxury cars

Its pretty neat :-)

Cheers
Graeme

Re: GORM Inheritence Mapping

In reply to this post by graemer

Good news! I'm curious, how does hibernate know if it is an AlphaRomeo
or a Fiat? Does it add a column containing the class name, or does it
create a new subtable for each subclass?

Does it work if Ferrari (for example) has an extra field that the
others don't have? I'm guessing this would work if the subtable option
is used.

Yes it creates a class column with the class name in.

So, if the subclass has an extra column does it create a new subtable?
...Or does it add it to the main table and ignore it for the other
subclasses?

I believe the latter, which is why one limitation is that you can't
have not null columns in sub-classes as they HAVE to be nullable for
the other classes in the relationship to continue functioning

Re: GORM Inheritence Mapping

In reply to this post by graemer

Thanks. That'll work fine for simple stuff. It's good to know not to
use it for more complex stuff with lots of subclass columns. I can help
document this on the Wiki if you have a section there that mentions this
feature.

Re: GORM Inheritence Mapping

In reply to this post by graemer

Thanks Graeme,

I added this to the GORM page: (feel free to go in and change it if you
wish)

Technical note for those interested: Under the covers, only one table
is used. A class column specifies the subclass and any fields in the
subclasses are included on the same table. Subclass fields cannot be
required because the underlying columns need to be nullable for the
other subclasses.

Hmmm, The wiki acts like it accepts my changes but then it doesn't
display them back to me. Is it possible it has to be reviewed first?
Maybe someone else will have better luck pasting the below text at the
end of the Mapping Inheritance section
