Explanation of the term many-side --------------------------------- Key: HHH-3302 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3302 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: documentation Environment: Doesn't matter Reporter: Peter Merker In §1.3.6 of the reference, the location of the inverse="true" attribute is described like this: "The rules you have to remember are straightforward: All bi-directional associations need one side as inverse. In a one-to-many association it has to be the many-side, in many-to-many association you can pick either side, there is no difference." I found this a bit puzzling, because I was not sure what is meant with "many-side". Now I know that this means the side with many references. I think that should be made clear in the paragraph. -- 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
