[FLOW3-general] Abstract classes and extending objects

[Ferdinand Kuhl]

Hi Dawid,

just take a look at the Framework/Flow3.Party/ Package. There you'll 
find an "AbstractParty" which will be the ancestor to "Person" or 
"Company". Looks like exactly what you are searching for.

Basically you are totally right. You just have to use the right 
docrtine - annotation. Have a look at their website. They provide 
different database backed inheritance models (e.g. Joined or 
Discriminated)

Have a nice evening,
Ferdinand Kuhl
