@OneToMany association in 3.2.0.cr2 does not work with simple element types. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-446 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-446 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.0.cr2 Environment: Hibernate 3.20.CR4 Reporter: Mike Brock Hibernate has always allowed, as far as I can remember to map simple elements as unmapped entities in a OneToMany association (such as Strings, Integers, etc). In fact, hibernate-annotations 3.2.0.cr1 allowed this: @OneToMany(targetEntity = String.class) private Set<String> roles; As of this latest release, we get a complaint that String is not a mapped entity. Is this intentional or a bug? Previously, hibernate would create a simple two column join table in such an association in a key-value arrangement to deal with this. I am aware that @CollectionOfElements can be used to deal with this type of association in the hibernate-annotations package. Does it's existence imply that the Java Persistence API does not have support for this type of association? -- 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
