    hbm.xml to javax.persistence annotations problems

    mpurdy1973

      i created a simple hibernate example using two classes:
      - User
      - TrainingRequest

      User has a set of trainingRequest (one to many)
      TrainingRequest has a user (many to one)

      everything works fine; so i created a new project and converted the *.hbm.xml to annotations, however, it doesnt create the TrainingRequest table correctly and throws exception when trying to build the table.

      the details are below, however, i believe the problem seems to be the following:
      the TrainingRequest hibernate with the annotations only creates two columns the trainingrequest_id key and the user_id foreign key.

      note: i changed the table names from the first project to the second project to simplify the example - but other than that everything is the same.


      the join table annotation from the two classes

      //from User.java
       @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
       @JoinTable
       (
       name="TrainingRequest",
       joinColumns = @JoinColumn( name="user_id"),
       inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn( name="trainingrequest_id")
       )
       private Set<TrainingRequest> trainingRequests;
      
      
      //from TrainingRequest.java
       @ManyToOne()
       @JoinTable
       (
       name="User",
       joinColumns = @JoinColumn( name="trainingrequest_id"),
       inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn( name="user_id")
       )
       private User user;
      




      User.hbm.xml (from the first project that works)

        • 1. Re: hbm.xml to javax.persistence annotations problems
          mpurdy1973

          i figured it out. the problem it was my first time with JPA annotations, now it is clear.

          i used JoinTable annotation, which is used in a many to many relationship, which cause hibernate to create a link table.

          once i switch it back to JoinColumn, it worked the same:

          code from User

           @OneToMany
           (
           mappedBy = "id",
           targetEntity = TrainingRequest.class,
           fetch = FetchType.EAGER,
           cascade = CascadeType.ALL
           )
           private Set<TrainingRequest> trainingRequests;
          


          code from TrainingRequest
           @ManyToOne()
           @JoinColumn
           (
           name = "user_id",
           nullable = false,
           updatable = false
           )
           private User user;
