Bi-directional relationships with multiple endpoints shouldn't be allowed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3253
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3253
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.2.6
            Reporter: Paul Benedict


I unwittingly had a configuration, in which I mapped a bi-directional association with two inversed ends. 

class StockingShelf {
  @OneToOne(mappedBy="shelf")
  private Item special;

  @OneToMany(mappedBy="shelf")
  private List<Item> items;
}

class Item {
  @ManyToOne(optional=false)
  private Shelf shelf;
}

No errors or warnings were thrown or logged, but I am pretty sure this configuration should be invalid. All Hibernate books and articles imply that a bi-directional relationship contains one and only one endpoint for each side of the relationship.
