Hibernate newbie needs help with association mapping

Hi!

I have 2 sample DB tables:

1) employee (id, name, address); id is a primary key
2) salary(emp_id, salary); emp_id column is a foreign key to employee(id)

I have one persistent class Employee:

Code:

package data;
public class Employee {
   private int id;
   private String name, address;
   private double salary; // references a column in Salary table
................... setters/getters ...........
}

How can I modify the below association mapping so that when I insert 1 record into the the Employee object/table, 1 row is also inserted into the Salary table automatically?

Code:

<class name="data.Employee" table="employee">
  <id name="id" column="id" type="java.lang.Integer">
    <generator class="native" />
  </id>
      
  <property name="name" column="name" type="java.lang.String" />
  <property name="address" column="address" type="java.lang.String" />
</class>

Many thanks!

Take a look at @SecondaryTable in the annotations reference, I am sure there's a similar configuration option in hibernate classic.
