The
http://www.xylax.net/hibernate web-site is informative, but I am still confused. I'm also somewhat limited in that I am trying to apply Hibernate to an existing database schema.
The table structure I have is:
Item item_id
LinkTable item_id, language_id, description
Language language_id
The collection I want to use is a Map whereby I would like to have something in Item like String getDescription(Language). The relationship does not need to be bidirectional as I don't think I will need to determine an Item given a LinkTable.
Does anyone know an appropriate URL or have an hbm.xml config that fits the bill? Thanks!
