Symfony2: Do I need to create mapping-information for FOSUserBundle's abstract User class? Why are there no annotations?

Question

I am extending from FOSUserBundle's abstract User class as described in the documentation .

I see that there Doctrine/ORM's mapping-annotations in the class.

Does this mean that - if I extend from the class - the properties defined in the abstract class won't get persisted?

Do I need to manually edit the bundle's abstract class or has the mapping been defined elsewhere?

Answer 1

FOSUserBundle uses XML mappings.

That's the reason there are no annotations in the abstract User class.

• doctrine mappings can be found in Resources/config/doctrine .
• propel schema can be found in Resources/config/propel .
