Not-Null Constraint-Violation with unidirectional one-to-many mapping --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2280 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2280 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.0.cr4 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.0.cr4, Oracle 10XE Reporter: Robert Herschke Priority: Blocker Attachments: one-to-many-test.zip In some cases it is neccessary to have an unidirectional one-to-many mapping, but not using Join-Tables due to a legacy database system. So it must be possible, to have a one-to-many mapping just via a foreign-key-mapping. The Child-Object must not know the Parent-Object in this case. It must also be possible, to pay respect to a NOT-NULL-Constraint at this foreign-key due to restrictions on legacy database systems. Hibernate doesn't support this, but throw a NOT-NULL-Constraint Violation Exception. The documentation says, "this is unusual" - to which I want to dissent. See the attached testcase for details, that is adopted from your "one-to-many" testcase found in the 3.2.0 sources. -- 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
