Extending entities in Symfony2 with Doctrine2

down vote

You can see in this link to know about inheritance: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/en/latest/reference/inheritance-mapping.html#single-table-inheritance You must declare in UserBundle\Entity\User: /** * @Entity * @InheritanceType("SINGLE_TABLE") * @DiscriminatorColumn(name="discr", type="string") * @DiscriminatorMap({"baseuser" = "UserBundle\Entity\User", "blogUser" = "BlogBundle\Entity\User"}) */ class User implements UserInterface { ... } And BlogBundle\Entity\User use App\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser; /** * @ORM\Entity */ class User extends BaseUser { .... } Goodluck!

--------------------------------------------------------

Based on the example from the docs:

/**
 * @Entity
 * @InheritanceType("SINGLE_TABLE")
 * @DiscriminatorColumn(name="resource_type", type="string")
 * @DiscriminatorMap({"article_vote" = "ArticleVote", "comment_vote" = "CommentVote"})
 */
class Vote
{
    private $id;
    private $weight;
}

class ArticleVote extends Vote
{
    /** @ManyToOne(...) */
    private $article;
}

class CommentVote extends Vote
{
    /** @ManyToOne(...) */
    private $comment;
}
