Hi I am trying to convert the following hbm.xml to use annotations

Employee.hbm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC

<!-- also can configure hibernate lazy here lazy="false"

JBoss 4.2 reports it has binded the objects

The issue is when i try and create a new Employee record, it creates the employee record but fails to create the Department it is assocaited with. No errors are reported. If i revert back to the hbm.xml files it works fine. The Employee table stores the departmentid key which is key for Department table

Can someone help? I am sure my ManyToOne annotation is not correctly defined. I need help in converting these hbm.xml maps to Annotated objects. If i remove all annotations and revert back to using the hbn.xml files it works just fine
