Hi,

I have a Account and Detail tables with many-to-many association.I have link table AccountDetail.

Table 1:

Name : Account
Columns: account_id
account_name

Table 2:

Name: Detail
Columns : detail_id
detail_name

AccountDetail

Account_id
Detail_id
Name
description

In the link table both account_id+detail_id composite primary key

Queries :

1) I have created a .hbm.xml file for the link table.
I need to configure many-to-many in Account to Detail.
Can u please explain me how to configure <set> in account.
Issue is I have only account_id in the account table but key in the <set> needs to be both account_id and detail_id.

Thanks
Babu

You have custom columns/properties in your link table, so why don't you use one-to-many references instead of many-to-many references?
You won't have a link entity with a many-to-many reference, so you won't be able to read/write Name and Description.

Unless you use both reference types, but I don't think that's best practice.
