advice on sets/lists and inverse mappings

biot023 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 06, 2005 6:33 am

Hallo -- I was wondering if I could ask anyone's advice on the best way to handle sets/lists & inverse mappings?
Namely -- where would you instantiate a Set in a mapped object?
In the no parameters constructor?
Also, I have been using the Java 5 generic Collections -- should this cause any problems?
Finally, is there any sort of best practice regarding which side of a mapping should be inverse? (I mean for 1:1, 1:N, M:N)
& thankyou for any & all replies.
Cheers,
doug.

Hi,

The link would be OK, but for the silly final ".". Just copy/paste and remove the final "."

Or use this link: http://www.hibernate.org/193.html :-)
