Can I use @MappedSuperclass annotation on an interface?
I want to group common mappings in an interface , but I cannot use an abstract superclass because my entities already extend another class . So I need an interface like below: @MappedSuperclass public interface NamedEntity { @Column(name = "name") String getName(); void setName(String name); } and I want to use it like below: public class Person { private Long id; private String name; public Long getId(){ return id; } public void setId(Long id){ this.id = id; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name){ this.name = name; } } @Entity @Table(name = "person_entity"
