Hibernate version: 3.0

Mapping documents:
<!--Parent table -->
<set
name="linkedArticles"
lazy="false"
cascade="all"
sort="unsorted"
inverse="false">
<key column="ARTICLE_ID" ></key>
<one-to-many class="com.model.LinkedArticle" />
</set>

<!--Mapping table -->

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.model.LinkedArticle" table="pcw_linked_article">
<composite-id>

<key-many-to-one name="article"
class="com.model.Article"
column="ARTICLE_ID">

</key-many-to-one>

<key-property name="linkedArticleId" column="LINKED_ARTICLE_ID" />

</composite-id>


<property
name="articleSequence"
column="LINKED_SEQUENCE"
type="java.lang.Integer"
update="true"
insert="true"
/>


<!--Need to do mapping-->
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>



Using the one-to-many mapping in parent table i can able to insert the records into my child table(which i need). but i cannot able to update the child table records.

But If i made the parent mapping like this :

<set
name="linkedArticles"
lazy="false"
cascade="all-delete-orphan"
sort="unsorted"
inverse="true">
<key column="ARTICLE_ID" ></key>
<one-to-many class="com.model.LinkedArticle" />
</set>

Its working fine..

I cannt able to understand the concept behind the "inverse" property.Can any one help me out.
