Referencing a superclass from a subclass in JPOX

In JPOX, when referencing a superclass from a subclass, say, Message descends from Post and has a parent of type Post, do not use the no-table inheritance strategy for the superclass.

class Post {}

class Article extends Post {}

class Message extends Post {
  private Post parent;
}

Doing this will cause JPOX to fail since the parent post record will not be found because there is no table for the Post class. One can either leave it to JPOX to choose the correct strategy or specify the new-table one.
