Hibernation and inheritance display issues with @SecondaryTable

I have a fairly simple hierarchical class structure as shown below, with each subclass having an @DiscriminatorValue enum type that works really well.

Abstract class:

AbstractNode (abstract class mapped to Node table)

Class subclasses:

FieldNode (simple class mapped to Node table but with different @DiscriminatorValue)

SynonymNode (problem class, this class also maps to Node table with different @DiscriminatorValue)

but ALSO has a @SecondaryTable attribute and has additional columns like deletedDate, createdDate, etc ... each of which matches the cumum in the table defined in the @SecondaryTable attribute.

The problem I'm with comes when I make a simple hibernate query for this Node table

I am getting errors like:

org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Failed to execute query ... stack trace ... Thrown by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name

and in my logs I see:

Hibernate: Select * from vocab_node where lower (name) like '%' ||? || '%'

INFO [NullableType.java:132]: Could not read column value from result set: DELETED_DATE; Invalid column name

My guess is that it finds a row in the DB table and then indicates that it is the type of the SynonymNode class (by @DiscriminatorValue column), then tries to populate the class including the additional columns table mapped to @SecondaryTable.

How can I tell this to either, or join @SecondaryTable, or exclude it altogether for this particular request?

Thanks heaps! This problem is killing me!

I'm working with Hibernate 3.2.1 and Java 1.5
