AssociationOverride

public class AssociationOverride
This annotation is used to override a many-to-one or one-to-one mapping of property or field for an entity relationship.

The AssociationOverride annotation may be applied to an entity that extends a mapped superclass to override a many-to-one or one-to-one mapping defined by the mapped superclass. If the AssociationOverride annotation is not specified, the join column is mapped the same as in the original mapping.

Example:
@MappedSuperclass
public class Employee {
...
@ManyToOne
protected Address address;
...
}

@Entity
@AssociationOverride(name="address",
joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="ADDR_ID"))
// address field mapping overridden to ADDR_ID fk
public class PartTimeEmployee extends Employee {
...
}
