Hi. Im trying to map Areas and Persons.
Each Area has 4 specific persons.
1. A Warden
2. A Chief Warden
3. A Comms Officer
4. A Deputy Chief Warden

I have modelled this as an Area object containing a 'warden' Person object, a 'chiefWarden' Person object, a 'deputyChiefWarden' person object etc.

The Person object has firstName, lastName etc.

I will be accessing the Person object as area.getChiefWarden().getFirstName() etc.

I currently dont have an area property in the person object (or areaid in the person db table)

How do I map this in the hbm.xml file?
Ive looked at one-to-one mapping (many to one with unique="true") but this doesnt seem to be whats needed.
Can I just set the Person objects as properties in the Area object and then specify the type?

/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is how Ive currently got it
<class name="Area" table="emm_area">
<id name="id" column="areaid">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="name"/>
<many-to-one name="premise"
class="Premise"
column="premiseid"
not-null="true"/>
<many-to-one name="chiefWarden"
class="Person"
column="chiefwarden"
unique="true"
not-null="false"/>
</class>

<class name="Person" table="emm_person">
<id name="id" column="personid">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="firstName"/>
<property name="lastName"/>
<property name="username"/>
<property name="password"/>
<property name="mobile"/>
</class>

Does the emm_area table hold a foreign key for person to have a many-to-one relation
