Hi
I'm new Hibernate 3.0.3 user.

I have tables similar to:

User:
user_id|name

Group:
group_id|name

Users-Groups:
user_group_id|group_id|user_id

What is the best strategy for mapping relations like above one ?

Dunno if this will work, it works for me:

<hibernate-mapping>
<class
name="User"
table="User"
dynamic-update="false"
dynamic-insert="false">

<id
name="user_id"
column="user_id"
type="int"
unsaved-value="null">
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>

<property
name="name"
type="java.lang.String"
update="true"
insert="true"
access="property"
column="name"/>

<bag
name="groups"
table="groups"
lazy="false"
inverse="false"
cascade="none"
>

<key
column="user_id"
>
</key>

<many-to-many
class="za.co.easypay.easycredit.Group"
column="group_id"
outer-join="auto"
/>

</bag>
</class>


</hibernate-mapping>
