hi all

i have a Goods object as follows :

class Goods
{
String name;
String id;//id
Metric m;//another object
}

and Metric is :

class Metric
{

String name;
String id;//id
}

Metric table is already filled in database. i just have instances
of Goods to be written into its table without writing Metrics into Metrics table. in Goods table i just have a field for metric as forigen key. i just want this field to be written.i dont want any touch of metrics table.

Is this possible ? if the answer is YES then i can choose whether to use hibernate or not.

Just map them as a unique foreign key association. See chapter 5.1.11 of the reference documentation.
