[FLOW3-general] Abstract classes and extending objects

[Zach Davis]

I'm not positive this is what you're trying to do, but this worked for me:

/**
  * @scope prototype
  * @entity
  * @InheritanceType("SINGLE_TABLE")
  * @DiscriminatorColumn(name="type", type="string")
  * @DiscriminatorMap({"AccountIndividual" = "AccountIndividual", 
"AccountOrganization" = "AccountOrganization"})
  */
class Account {
}

/**
  * @scope prototype
  * @entity
  */
class AccountIndividual extends Account {
}

/**
  * @scope prototype
  * @entity
  */
class AccountOrganization extends Account {
}

With these annotations, Doctrine seems to be able to store both types in 
the same table (and they also both get stored in the same repository, 
which was useful for my purposes).

best,
Zach
