[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4281) @ManyToMany appears to ALWAYS generate a left outer join SQL

@ManyToMany appears to ALWAYS generate a left outer join SQL ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-4281 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4281 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations Reporter: Barry Davies Priority: Minor Attachments: files.zip A collection mapping created using the @ManyToMany JPA annotation appears to create a left outer join SQL regardless of whether the joinColumn or inverseJoinColumn are marked nullable or not. This might be in error. Emmanuel asked for a JIRA issue to be created, so here we are. I have attached some files that can recreate what I believe to be the issue.
