One-to-one: property-ref: foreign key: composite-id
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-4014
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4014
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2, 3.3.1, 3.3.0.SP1, 3.3.0.GA, 3.3.0.CR2, 3.3.0.CR1, 3.2.7, 3.2.6, 3.2.5, 3.2.4.sp1, 3.2.4, 3.2.3, 3.2.2, 3.2.1
         Environment: Hibernate Version 3.2.6, Database Db2
            Reporter: Sandeep Vaid
            Priority: Blocker


Presently there is no way in hibernate using which we can specify one-to-one relationship with property-ref to part of composite-id 
of another entity. The following scenario will clarify the above statement.

There is a one-to-one relationship between Product and ProductBasic.
Product -----> productId (PK)
ProductBasic ----> pId, useCode, StartTime (as composite key) and pId is also foreign key referencing Product.

This is a legacy database. We get one-to-one relationship by using the condition:
 Product.productId=ProductBasic.pId and useCode='008' and startTime<currentTime<endTime.
 
 In Product.hbm.xml:
 <one-to-one name="productBasic" cascade="save-update" property-ref="activeProduct" constrained="true">
     <formula>PRODUCTID</formula>
 </one-to-one>
 
 In ProductBasic.hbm.xml
  <composite-id name="compProductBasic"> 
    <key-property name="pId" column="PID" ></key-property>
    <key-property name="useCode" column="USECODE" "></key-property>
    <key-property name="startTime" column="STARTTIME" ></key-property>
  </composite-id>
  
  <properties name="activeProduct">
    <property name="compProductBasic.pId" class="Product"  insert="false" update="false" lazy="proxy" />
  </properties>
 
 
 If my relationship is Product.productId = ProductBasic.pId, there is no way in hibernate to specify this relationship.
 Moreover we cannot remap(refer to) the property of composite-id (compProductBasic.pId in current example)..
 
 Hence i request for enhancement in hibernate to incorporate this.
