Hibernate version:2.1

Mapping documents:

How can I do the mapping for the class below using one-to-one and not bi-direcional (or bi-direcional, wherever)??

public class Cat{
public Cat child;
public Integer id;
// get´s and set´s

}

Thanks in advance.

I dont think you can do such a thing (correct me if I am wrong), because according to hibernate you cant include the same column of the table twice in the hbm file. It will throw an exception.

More over according to your requirement its a never ending process, I mean a Cat is having one Cat and it has another and just goes on. Its a never ending process. I dont get your requirement.

I think that i was not clear.

Let me explain..

I have a class that it has an attribute that is a object like parent class.

If I map using one to many no problem.

Is it more clean??
