We should be able to implement Joins using formulas with Annotations --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4479 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4479 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: annotations Reporter: Sharath Reddy Assignee: Sharath Reddy Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.5 Attachments: HHH-4479.patch, HHH-4479second.patch This article published on the O'Reilly web site - http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/08/03/hibernate.html?page=3 - describes how to implement joins with formulas, using the hbm xml files. We should be able to do the same with annotations: <hibernate-mapping> <class name="Company" table="Company"> <id name="id" /> <many-to-one name="defaultContactPerson" property-ref="defaultContactPerson"> <column name="id"/> <formula>1</formula> </many-to-one> </class> <class name="Person" > <id name="id" /> <properties name="defaultContactPerson"> <property name="companyID" /> <property name="defaultFlag" /> </properties> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
