Didn’t we have this discussion before. If I remember correctly you were the one who favoured the
current model. What made you change your mind.

On paper it looks good to me. But it seems you encountered something which creates an itch?

for what i have seen and what we discussed, it is the way to go. I can see me using this type of model
in other Hibernate projects as well.
