Description
See attached yaml file. When generating with
<generatorName>java</generatorName>
<configOptions>

<useBeanValidation>true</useBeanValidation>

</configOptions>
The class SecondDerivation contains a constructor that tries to set the fields id and href which are actually in class FirstDerivation. Since the fields are private this can not work.

Suggest a fix
The Spring generator implements the postProcessAllModels method and handles this perfectly by calling the constructor of the base class instead of trying to set the variables. As a temporary fix I changed the pojo.mustache of the Java generator in my project, but I am not sure this fixes all problems.

Research direction
Start with the attached simpleAPI.zip and reproduce generation using the Java generator with the feign library and the listed config options. Read the Java generator's postProcessAllModels implementation and pojo.mustache, then verify that generated SecondDerivation handles inherited id and href fields without attempting to access private fields from FirstDerivation.
