[b]Hibernate version:3.0.5

I have a class that contains two collections of sub-components of the same type, but with different meanings. In the database, I map these collections using the same link table, but with a different type column. I can pull data that already exists in the database wonderfully. When I insert a new SolutionComponent into the database, the sub_component_list rows have null sub_list_type columns. What I need is someway to specify the sub_list_type column on each set element, so that when an insert/update happens the sub_list_type value would get set correctly. Any ideas?

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="SolutionComponent" table="solution_component">
<id name="sku" column="sku" />

….

<!-- A solution component can be have lists of other solution components
(alternative,linked) managed by the sub_component_list table
distinguished by the sub_list_type column -->
<set name="alternateComponentList" table="sub_component_list"
where="sub_list_type = 1" lazy="false">
<key column="solution_component_sku" />
<many-to-many column="sub_component_sku" class="SolutionComponent"/>
</set>
<set name="linkedComponentList" table="sub_component_list"
where="sub_list_type = 2" lazy="false">
<key column="solution_component_sku" />
<many-to-many column="sub_component_sku" class="SolutionComponent"/>
</set>
</class>
