I have a parent table, t_books_category and a corresponding child table T_Book with a 1-n mapping. My configuration files for the two tables are as under:
Mapping for T_BOOKS tableCode:

As you can see I have been able to map the foreign key attribute of cat_id. However there is one further requirement, there is an additional column cat_Date which is also present in the child table and both values will be the same. However this field is a non key field in both the tables. How do i perform the mapping for this column such that save and update on the master table is cascaded to the child table too.
Thank you and I would appreciate any help.
