> Mapping a child entity collection from two different parent entities results in duplicate backref property exception when configuring the session factory if the collection keys are marked not null and the collection names are the same in both parents.

> The problem seems to be originated during the second Collection binding pass in org.hibernate.cfg.HbmBinder, as the Backrefs and IndexBackrefs names are created like this:
> (Excerpts from HbmBinder.java r10921 2006-12-05 14:39:12Z steve.ebersole at jboss.com, contained in the Hibernate 3.2.3.ga source)
> line 2242:			IndexBackref ib = new IndexBackref();
> line 2243:			ib.setName( '_' + node.attributeValue( "name" ) + "IndexBackref" );
> and
> line 2478:			Backref prop = new Backref();
> line 2479:			prop.setName( '_' + node.attributeValue( "name" ) + "Backref" );
> in both cases the node name value is the collection name. So for every collection that points to a child, Hibernate creates a backref property without considering the posibility of more than one entity declaring the same collection name.
> I've patched the code to add the collection owner's entity name to the property name, and it worked without problems.
> I'm attaching: 
> * ParentA, ParentB and Child classes
> * Mappings for ParentA, ParentB and Child
> * hbm.xml file
> * Main test case. (HBTest.java)
> * Proposed patch in unified diff format.
