Hi guys,

I have two tables:
User -> pk is ID
UserDetail -> pk is USERID

How can I map a @OneToOne relationship inside User to UserDetail?

Is this even the best/most efficient way of doing this?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

If I understand correctly you want to map a one to one relationship using shared primary keys. You will have to use @OneToOne together with @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn. See http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/annotations/reference/en/html_single/#d0e1001.

You are responsible for setting the right id in UserDetails. If you have a bidirectional relationship, meaning the UserDetails has a reference back to User you can also utilize the @GenericGenerator annotation - http://www.i-proving.ca/space/Technologies/Hibernate/Hibernate+Annotation+Examples/One+to+One+Mapping.

Hopefully this was not too far off from what you actually asked ;-)
