<class name="Parent">
<id name="id" column="parent_id"/>
....
<set name="children" inverse="true">
<key column="parent_id"/>
<one-to-many class="Child"/>
</set>
</class>

<class name="Child">
<id name="id" column="child_id"/>
....
<many-to-one name="parent"
class="Parent"
column="parent_id"
not-null="true"/>
</class>

parent has inverse="true" what this means ?


here if I add a new child to the set in parent and persists parent will it save the new child ?
or
the child updates a property in parent and persists itself , will it update parent ? Please help me resolve this confusion!

Hi i am new to hibernate 3.0.

I have written a query in MySQL which will return top 10 best markets

The query is running fine in MySQL Query Browser. but I want to implement
the same query in form of Hibernate Query.

SELECT * FROM
(select a.market_id,count(distinct a.country_id)
countrycnt,b.marketName
from grt5_cms.Market_Country as a,grt5_cms.Market as b
where a.market_id=b.id group by
a.market_id order by countrycnt desc)
tab1 limit 10;



can some one please write the same to Hibernate Query..

Please post it as a new thread

inverse="true"(bidirectional) means both side is "mirror", so Hibernate will execute only 1 query when you save the children. Try to turn on the logger to see the query executed
