<span id="id1"></span><h1>Inheritance Mapping<a class="headerlink" href="#inheritance-mapping" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Doctrine currently offers two supported methods of inheritance:
<a class="reference internal" href="#single-collection-inheritance"><span class="std std-ref">single collection</span></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="#collection-per-class-inheritance"><span class="std std-ref">collection per class</span></a> inheritance.</p>
<div class="section" id="mapped-superclasses">
<h2>Mapped Superclasses<a class="headerlink" href="#mapped-superclasses" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A mapped superclass is an abstract or concrete class that provides mapping
information for its subclasses, but is not itself a document. Typically, the
purpose of such a mapped superclass is to define state and mapping information
that is common to multiple document classes.</p>
<p>Just like non-mapped classes, mapped superclasses may appear in the middle of
an otherwise mapped inheritance hierarchy (through
<a class="reference internal" href="#single-collection-inheritance"><span class="std std-ref">single collection</span></a> or
<a class="reference internal" href="#collection-per-class-inheritance"><span class="std std-ref">collection per class</span></a>) inheritance.</p>
<div class="admonition note">

<p>In single collection inheritance, each document is stored in a single collection
and a discriminator field is used to distinguish one document type from another.</p>
<p>Simple example:</p>
<div class="configuration-block">
<ul class="simple">

</ul>
</div>
<p>The discriminator value allows Doctrine to infer the class name to instantiate
when hydrating a document. If a discriminator map is used, the discriminator
value will be used to look up the class name in the map.</p>
<p>Now, if we query for a Person and its discriminator value is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">employee</span></code>, we
would get an Employee instance back:</p>
<div class="highlight-php"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="nv">$employee</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">Employee</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="c1">// ...</span>
<span class="nv">$dm</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">persist</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$employee</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$dm</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">flush</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="nv">$employee</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$dm</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">find</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;Person&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$employee</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getId</span><span class="p">());</span> <span class="c1">// instanceof Employee</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Even though we queried for a Person, Doctrine will know to return an Employee
instance because of the discriminator map!</p>
<p>If your document structure has changed and you've added discriminators after
already having a bunch of documents, you can specify a default value for the
discriminator field:</p>
