Annotation Interface DiscriminatorFallback

@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface DiscriminatorFallback

This annotation can be used to decode objects from the database that do not provide a discriminator. Usually this is the case when you persist entities in the db that evolve into polymorphic structures but weren't at the beginning. If you already know your structure will eventually grow into polymorphic structures, use the Polymorphic annotation to make your intent clear. Then always a discriminator is persisted to the db.
