Hi,

I am unable to find mapped superclass definition for XML and YML. I would
like to define the same schema as seen at:

http://www.doctrine-project.org/documentation/manual/2_0/en/inheritan...

But I can't see needed XML elements in the XML schema. I've found only
for defining superclass but not an element or
attribute in the entity element to define inherited class. If you know
how to define this in XML, could you please also show me an example
how to define it in YAML. Thank you

Frantisek Troster

There is nothing extra needed. The XML Schema definition is as follows:

<xs:complexType name="mapped-superclass">
−
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="orm:entity"/>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

Doctrine does currently not need inheritance information about mapped superclasses or non-mapped classes in mapping files. The necessary inheritance information is read from the classes themselves.
