Description Karen Butzke CLA 2012-01-27 10:20:42 EST 
EclipseLink dynamic persistence uses the parent-class attribute on entity, mapped-superclass, and embeddable in the eclipselink-orm.xml, to define inheritance. We need to validate that there is a persistent type defined with that name if the parent-class is specified. We could also have xml code completion for this attribute. The package element is also used in conjunction with parent-class.

Can parent-class be set to a non-dynamic type? I'm not sure how fully EclipseLink supports this case.
Comment 1 Karen Butzke CLA 2012-03-05 10:17:12 EST 
Added validation to eclipselink ORM entity, embeddable, and mapped-superclass for parent-class: 
Parent class <class name> does not exist

Dali allows the parent-class to be dynamic or static.
