Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:


Hello all,
@work i have a table that contains 'containers' of different type..
EAch container is contained in other containers in the same table, and i was wondering if it was possible to have a parent/child relationship on the same table with hibernate..
Is that possible?
any tips on how to proceed?

thanx in advance and regards
marco

Yes - perfectly possible.
Just map a on-to-many relationship back to the same table.
One tip - the parent key is going to have to be nullable since you are going to get to the top level container at some stage.

I'm also expecting the same. Any samples available for this, along with any specific limitation with this approach ?
