    Troubles With Many-to-Many

    thetikigod.tiki_god.mail.com

      Hey guys,


      Im using JBoss AS 4.3.2 GA, Seam 2.0.2.SP1, and MySQL.


      Ive got two entities with a many to many relation between them.  When I try to update the relational table, the changes dont persist.  Also, when I edit one of the entities, all the corresponding entries in the relational table get aced.  I have a hack/work around for that but I would much rather do it the right way.  Here is my code:


      User entity:


      package com.burris.essapp.model;
      
      // imports
      
      @Entity
      @Name( "user" )
      public class User implements Serializable {
      
              private String userId;
              private String password;
              private String firstName;
              private String lastName;
              private String email;
              private long phone;
      
              private List<Role> roles;
      
              private List<Role> unassignedRoles;
              
              public User() {
      
                      super();
              }
      
              public User( String userId, String password ) {
      
                      super();
                      this.userId = userId;
                      this.password = password;
              }
      
              public User( String userId, String password, String firstName, String lastName ) {
      
                      super();
                      this.userId = userId;
                      this.password = password;
                      this.firstName = firstName;
                      this.lastName = lastName;
              }
      
              public User( String userId, String password, String firstName, String lastName, String email, long phone ) {
      
                      super();
                      this.userId = userId;
                      this.password = password;
                      this.firstName = firstName;
                      this.lastName = lastName;
                      this.email = email;
