    Simple 1-1 ejb-relation problem

    sysuser1

      I'm having some problems getting a 1-1 relationship between 2 tables using JBoss CMP. The 1-1 relationship is between USERS and CUSTOMERS table. CUSTOMERS.EMAIL is a foreign KEY to USERS.USERNAME, which is also the PK of USERS table ... simple as that.

      Now when I map this to DB colums in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml, I could not find a way of how to tell JBoss to use the EMAIL column as the foreign key. I have this as ...

      <ejb-relation>
        <ejb-relation-name>User-Customer</ejb-relation-name>
        <foreign-key-mapping/>
        <ejb-relationship-role>
              <ejb-relationship-role-name>one-CustomerEJB@user-Has-UserEJB</ejb-relationship-role-name>
              <key-fields/>      
        </ejb-relationship-role>
        <ejb-relationship-role>
              <ejb-relationship-role-name>one-UserEJB@Customer-Has-CustomerEJB</ejb-relationship-role-name>
              <key-fields>
                    <key-field>
                      <field-name>username</field-name>
                      <column-name>username</column-name>
                    </key-field>
              </key-fields>                        
        </ejb-relationship-role>
      </ejb-relation>


      IT seems to assume that it will create a new column on the CUSTOMERS table called CUSTOMERS.USERNAME to establish the relationship.

      When I let it create the tables automatically, it adds a USERNAME column on CUSTOMERS which is not how I want it to be. My database is already in place and I cant change the database structures, so I need to use the EMAIL column as the foreign key. How can I tell JBoss to use this as the FK ?
