<title>Mapping a class more than once</title>
<para>
It is possible to provide more than one mapping for a particular persistent class. In this
case you must specify an <emphasis>entity name</emphasis> do disambiguate between instances
of the two mapped entities. (By default, the entity name is the same as the class name.)
Hibernate lets you specify the entity name when working with persistent objects, when writing
queries, or when mapping associations to the named entity.

Notice how associations are now specified using <literal>entity-name</literal> instead of
