Hibernate throws a "MappingException: Repeated column in mapping for collection" on order columns also being a foreign key/relationship column
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-7213
                 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7213
             Project: Hibernate ORM
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1
            Reporter: Karsten Wutzke


I'm using an order column for an @OrderColumn which is also part of a foreign key like:

{code}@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name = "GroupLinks", joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "parent_round_id", referencedColumnName = "round_id"), @JoinColumn(name = "parent_ordinal_nbr", referencedColumnName = "ordinal_nbr")}, inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "child_round_id", referencedColumnName = "round_id"), @JoinColumn(name = "child_ordinal_nbr", referencedColumnName = "ordinal_nbr")})
@OrderColumn(name = "child_ordinal_nbr")
private List<Group> children;{code}

As you can see the order column "child_ordinal_nbr" is also an FK (and PK) in the join table. However, this fails with a mapping exception:

{code}Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Repeated column in mapping for collection: com.kawoolutions.bbstats.model.Group.parents column: parent_ordinal_nbr

    ... 9 more{code} 

IMO there's no reason to assume the order column is not a foreign key column, too.

I've posted an extensive example over at stackoverflow.com:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9957247/is-manytomanymappedby-ordercolumn-supported-by-the-jpa

While the JPA spec is silent about this behavior there's no reason why the depicted scenario shouldn't be working.
