Hello,

I'm stuck trying to produce a mapping that allows:

<map name="photoTable" table="photos" lazy="true">

<key column="int_track_num"/>

<index column="photo_type" type="string"/>

<composite-element class="com.PhotographImpl">

<property name="type" column="photo_type" access="field" type="string"/>



Notice that the index element maps to the same column as a property of the component that is the value of the map. Hibernate doesn't allow this.

My code is basically indexing the object from the type off of the mapped component.

Is there any way to accomplish this without changing my code or schema?

Thanks

I'd like something like: insert=false, update=false, but those attributes only apply to class properties.

bumping this question up...

I took out the property attribute of the mapping in the component. However, the property does not get set in the component on load.

Is there any way to share the map index field with the component property?

Unfortunately not.
You should set that at the Java level in a add method.

Pu that to JIRA, this is an often resquested feature
