I would like to build up a test case about OneToMany bidirectional object relation.
The modeled case is: people may have more phone number (phone * - > 1 person) (person 1 - > * phone)
As for my understanding the foreign column (cperson_id) belongs to the cphone_number
...................................... CPerson.java
@Entity
public class CPerson {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long Id;
private String Name;
@OneToMany(mappedBy="cperson")
private List<CPhoneNumber> PhoneNumbers;

...................................... CPhoneNumber.java
@Entity
public class CPhoneNumber {
@Id @GeneratedValue
private Long Id;
private String Number;

@ManyToOne @JoinColumn(name="cperson_id")
private CPerson Person;

Unfortunatelly I got this error:
mappedBy reference an unknown target entity property: hello.OneToMany.CPhoneNumber.cperson in hello.OneToMany.CPerson.PhoneNumbers


What did I wrong ?
Thanks in advance.

PS:
I have read through some chapter about JPA and Hibernate Entity relationship and both of them agree with the followings:
In case of bidirectional one to many relations we use
on the OneToMany role side the
- (mappedBy="x") where x is the name of counter side entity class in case of bidirectional relationship
on the ManyToOne
- JoinColumn wich refers to foreign column

The name is the name of the variable (Person) not the name of the class (CPerson). @OneToMany(mappedBy="person") should work.

Unfortunately, It doesn't work :(, see the pic below.

Thank you for your effort.

See that you have 'person' property starting with upper case.

Thanks really, it works.

PS: It seems to be more strict with the java variables than column names I mean the case sensitivity.
