Bi-directional relationships with multiple endpoints shouldn't be allowed ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3253 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3253 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.6 Reporter: Paul Benedict I unwittingly had a configuration, in which I mapped a bi-directional association with two inversed ends. class StockingShelf { @OneToOne(mappedBy="shelf") private Item special; @OneToMany(mappedBy="shelf") private List<Item> items; } class Item { @ManyToOne(optional=false) private Shelf shelf; } No errors or warnings were thrown or logged, but I am pretty sure this configuration should be invalid. All Hibernate books and articles imply that a bi-directional relationship contains one and only one endpoint for each side of the relationship. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
