Hibernate Inheritance mapping Single table per class hierarchy example annotation based
The single table inheritance strategy maps all subclasses to only one database table. Each subclass declares its own persistent properties. Version and id properties are assumed to be inherited from the root class.
The discriminator column contains marker values that tell the persistence layer what subclass to instantiate for a particular row
