Hello,

I read in the documentation:

" The properties of a component may be of any Hibernate type (collections, many-to-one associations, other components, etc). "

from

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/refer ... nents.html

I'm not able to find an example of a component with a collection as a property. Is this possible, and if so, an example would be most helpful.

Thanks very much!
Seth

Here is an example:

<component class="eg.Child" name="child">
<property name="name" column="child_name"/>
<set name="addrs" table="ADDR" lazy="true">
<key column="parent_id" />
<composite-element class="eg.Addr">
<property name="street1"/>
<property name="city"/>
</composite-element>
</set>
</component>

Does it work even if the collection contains many-to-many associations?

something like that:



Thanks

Christophe

yes, check the DTD, it helps

In fact I have a problem with some queries.

I have a mapping that looks like that:


Then when I do such a query

The query seem to works (the 'where' part) but the returned Child objects doesn't contains the addrs collection.
