[hibernate-dev] Unidirectional @OneToMany @JoinColumn associations

[Gail Badner]

Unidirectional OneToMany associations using @JoinColumn that reference
columns that are not PK columns is not currently supported.

The JPA 2.1 documentation for @JoinTable says:

"Support for referenced columns that are not primary key columns of the
referenced table is optional. Applications that use such mappings will not
be portable."

I don't see anything in the user doc that explicitly states that Hibernate
does not support this.

Is this considered a bug?

Also, what about a unidirectional OneToMany using a @JoinColumn that
references some, but not all, of primary key columns? Hibernate does not
support that either. Should Hibernate support it since they are primary key
columns?

Thanks,
Gail
