mapping inheritance tree in one table

[David Rault]

Hi all
i've been looking through the tutorials to do inheritance mapping of a whole inheritance tree in a single table
and i've seen that it is _required_ to have a field in the objects that contains the class name ...

why is it so ?
shouldn't it be possible to tell OJB to call getClass().getName() on its own for the FieldDescriptor storing the instance type in db ?
has somebody thought a solution for this (e.g. write a PersistentField implemenation that can do it) ?

Thanks for your time

David
