Hi,

Some basic question :

I have a one-to-one mapping between to classes, for example:
class Person{
private int id;
private int age;
private Name name;

// getters/setters for all properties
}

and

class Name{
private int id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;

// getters/setters for all properties
}

the id's are both mapped as "sequence"-generated.

I have a test class with following code:

Name name = new Name();
name.setFirstName("Oscar");
name.setLastName("Wilde");

Person p = new Person();
p.setAge(47);

session.save(p);

Will hibernate also insert a record into table "Names" ??
Or do I need to save the name first before I attache it to Person?

Mapping files looks like:

Name.hbm.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?
...
>
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.bebop.business.Name" table="Names">
<id name="id" type="int" column="name_id" unsaved-value="0">
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">seq_names</param>
</generator>
</id>
<property name="firstName" column="firstname" type="string"/>
<property name="lastName" column="lastname" type="string"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Person.hbm.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?
...
>
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.bebop.business.Person" table="Persons">
<id name="id" type="string" >
<column name="uid" length="16"/>
<generator class="uuid.hex"/>
</id>
<property name="age" column="age" type="int"/>
<one-to-one name="name" class="com.bebop.business.Name"/>
</hibernate-mapping>

Argh ... if I just searched a bit longer !!!

"cascade" is the answer !!!

Regards.
