Hi,

what is the reason for the following restriction:

[Cited from NHibernate-1.0.2.0\doc\html_single:]

"Please note that NHibernate does not support bidirectional one-to-many associations with an indexed collection (list, map, or array) as the "many" end, you have to use a set or bag mapping."


Does this restriction mean, that a column a_id of table BB can not be used
both:

1) as the index in a <map> element in the mapping for class A (to table AA), (e.g. for a property B_by_key of type IDictionary) and also

2) column a_id be mapped to an inverse property (e.g. myA) in the mapping for class B (to table BB)?

What are the work-around solutions for this restriction?
Btw. I need an read-only property myA only?


Regards,
Mick
