Two entities joined via third entity using @manytomany

SYLIST.java
@ManyToMany( fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinTable(
name = "`sy-list-member`",
schema="PUB",
joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "`list-id`")},
inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "`list-member-id-code`")} )
public List<SvFund> getFunds() {

SVFUND.java
@ManyToMany(mappedBy = "funds")
public List<SyList> getMyLists() {

When returning SYLIST hibernate generates this sql:

select funds0_."list-id" as list2_1_, funds0_."list-member-id-code"........

however when attempting to return SVFUND hibernate generates this:

select mylists0_.list-member-id-code as list3_1_, mylists0_.list-id as list2_1_

In essence the escaping of the hyphenated column name works one way but not the other.

Seems a little buggish but can I work around this ??

Any assistance GREATLY appreciated

Which version are you using?
Can you try with the latest version of Hibernate Annotations.
If it still fail ()but it sounds like an old bug), open a JIRA issue with a reproducable test case, I will need to have a look at it.
