I have formulated my problem (and design) here in-depth:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5784 ... boss-toolsAs described there JBoss Tools shows some error. As it turns out Hibernate also has problems when mapping this. I get the following exception when run in an SSCCE (JavaSE test app):
Code:

What's wrong with Hibernate (3.6) here? I'm especially confused by the "recursive property" mentioned.
