[jboss-user] [Persistence, JBoss/CMP, Hibernate, Database] - JoinColumn annotation order

Hi all :) I have been using ManyToMany annotation to connect two tables. I thought the order of 'JoinColumn', does not matter, however when I wrote: @ManyToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE}, fetch=FetchType.LAZY) @JoinTable(name="profile_group_link" , inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "group_id")}, joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "profile_id"),@JoinColumn(name = "population_id")}) It did not work ,so I changed the order: joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "population_id"), @JoinColumn(name = "profile_id")}) and it worked perfect!!! Does any one knows why that happens? Do the order of the annotation change things? thanks Very confused individual View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3971487#...
