Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:

I have 2 class, a parent and a child. The child maintains a reference to the parent, and the parent has a set of children. My question is, is there a way to define the one-to-many without referencing the column in the key definition?
It seems like there should be a way to say that the key is based on the childs property rather than on a column name.

The reason is that I cant really have column names in the mapping files as colum names are controled via whatever NamingStragey is configured by the end user.

Also is there a way to define the mappings such that the relation ship is maintained by the parents collection, but the child define a hibernate populated property for parent ?
