Hey, if you don't need update/insert, why not just define a database view and map the class to that view as if it were a normal table... Otherwise you would need to implement your MessageViewList class as a facade on top of three persistent classes with one-to-one associations. If you enable outerjoin fetching on the associations, you will end up with essentially what you are looking for (ie MessageViewList will be fetched in a single query). I think fully working single-class-to-multiple-table mappings will take quite a while to implement. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
