Duplicate model property at extended java bean

Question

Hello all!
I am using a java bean model. It contains classes which sometimes extend other classes.
After the import of java bean model, the model class has duplicate properties: one of the current class and one of the super class.
for example:
class Customer
field name
field moneySpent
class GoodCustomer extends Customer
field telephone
even though I do not overwrite the fields name/moneySpent the model class has 5 model relations:
name              --->relation name Customer.Name
name              --->relation name GoodCustomer.Name
moneySpent    --->relation name Customer.MoneySpent
moneySpent    --->relation name GoodCustomer.MoneySpent
telephone        --->relation name GoodCustomer.Telephone
In the bind context view I can also see the five properties, so I am confused which one to really bind to the context...
I would prefer the GoodCustomer relations, is that correct??
Cheers
stefan

Hi Geert,
I agree it is not very intuitive to have two model relations visible for the Inherited class.
One workaround is, incase you only need one relation of the two visible. Go to the
Model Editor of the Model Class by double clicking on the Model Class GoodCustomer. Go to the Relations tab and remove the relations
name --->relation name GoodCustomer.Name and
moneySpent --->relation name GoodCustomer.MoneySpent.
The Relations tab shows the origin of both the relations in the Target Role column within brackets. This will help you identify the unwanted relation and delete it.
However you can only delete relations from the sub class and not the super class.
I hope this helps.
