Im implementing hibernate ORM in my java project. Ive downloaded source from github Ive compiled hibernate-maven-web included in samples. Now lets assume i want to overload method in one of the implementations For example CitizenDAOImpl.java Before my changes it looked like that.

package sample.googlecode.genericdao.oldworld.dao;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import sample.googlecode.genericdao.oldworld.model.Citizen;

/**
 * <p>
 * This is the implementation of the Citizen DAO. You can see that we don't
 * actually have to implement anything, it is all inherited from GenericDAOImpl
 * through BaseDAO. We just specify the entity type (Citizen) and its identifier
 * type (Long).
 * 
 * <p>
 * The @Repository allows Spring to recognize this as a managed component (so we
 * don't need to specify it in XML) and also tells spring to do DAO exception
 * translation to the Spring exception hierarchy.
 * 
 * @author dwolverton
 * 
 */
@Repository
public class CitizenDAOImpl extends BaseDAO<Citizen, Long> implements CitizenDAO {


}

All i did was override removeById that would just call super class. Later on im planing to add some ecrypt functionality so id will all be scrambled.

package sample.googlecode.genericdao.oldworld.dao;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import sample.googlecode.genericdao.oldworld.model.Citizen;

/**
 * <p>
 * This is the implementation of the Citizen DAO. You can see that we don't
 * actually have to implement anything, it is all inherited from GenericDAOImpl
 * through BaseDAO. We just specify the entity type (Citizen) and its identifier
 * type (Long).
 * 
 * <p>
 * The @Repository allows Spring to recognize this as a managed component (so we
 * don't need to specify it in XML) and also tells spring to do DAO exception
 * translation to the Spring exception hierarchy.

@Repository
public class CitizenDAOImpl extends BaseDAO<Citizen, Long> implements CitizenDAO {

    @Override
    public boolean removeById(Long id) {
        return super.removeById(id);
    }
}

when i run mvn clean install it gives me error

I understand that its ambiguous call and both BaseDAO and CitizenDAO do inherit GenericADO at some point. What is good solution in this case? Thanks
