@ManyToMany appears to ALWAYS generate a left outer join SQL ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ANN-644 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-644 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.3.0.ga 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.
