hi,

I have extended a customer with new field named "message", the entity class named "OwnerCustomerImpl", then I can see the value of message is stored into DB when I created a new customer. After this customer created a order, then I want to get the customer from order like "order.getCustomer()", and I want to get the "message" value, so I just costed this customer like
"OwnerCustomerImpl customer= (OwnerCustomerImpl)order.getCustomer()" ,

but I got cost error.

I debugged the code, and I can see the type of "order.getCustomer()" is "CustomerImpl", not as expected "OwnerCustomerImpl".

So should I do some extra work for this problem? I read the DOC about this, but it seems I need not do any other things, so can anybody help to take a look this problem?

thanks

Make sure that you have this in applicationContext-entity.xml:

hi phillipuniverse ,

I can sure the following is in applicationContent-entity.xml:


Actually, I think this extending entity is worked for some feature, because when I register a new customer, I can see the message value is stored in DB.

So is there some other reason for this problem?

thanks

Look in the database and see if you have entries in BLC_CUSTOMER that are not in OWNER_CUSTOMER. If you are in a development environment, is it possible that you have entries in BLC_CUSTOMER prior to you making that entity override?
