[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-3302) Explanation of the term many-side

[Peter Merker (JIRA)]

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.
