Is there a way to do the following with hibernate:

I have a many-to-many relationship between two classes: A and B.
I want to include a new field in their associative table that holds the date that the relation was created.
A saw some ways to do that using component mapping in the documentation, but that involves the creation of an third class. And it's not desirable for me.

Someone has a solution?

Thanks

Hi Marcio,

Have you found a solution? I'm facing exactly the same problem!
