Hibernate 4 explicit polymorphism (annotation) not working?

Question

I am facing problem with hibernate\'s explicit polymorphism. I used the polymorphism annotation and set it to explicit, but with get() and collections in mapped classes i al

Answer 1

If you look at the definition of PolymorphismType.EXPLICIT it says:

EXPLICIT: This entity is retrieved only if explicitly asked.

To hide the subclasses, you will have to annotate the subclasses with EXPLICIT and not the base class.
