 Post subject: composite-element and a nested array?

I have two tables, A & B, along with their association table, A_B. Table A_B has extra properties in it, so I'm using a composite-element to take care of those.

However, one of those extra properties is an integer array (in the Java object). I've tried to nest a set or an array within the composite-element, something like this:

Code:
<set name="ab" table="A_B" lazy="false" inverse="false" cascade="none" sort="unsorted">
  <key column="A_id"/>
  <composite-element class="org.A_B">
    <property name="name"/>
    <set name="intArray" lazy="false" inverse="false" cascade="all" sort="unsorted">
      <key column="ABLink_id"/>
      <one-to-many class="something"/>
    </set>
    <many-to-one name="B" class="org.B" cascade="none" outer-join="auto" update="true" insert="true" column="B_id"/>
  </composite-element>
</set>


But hibernate doesn't like that. It gives the following error:

Code:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "composite-element" must match "(parent?,(property|many-to-one|nested-composite-element)*)".


I realize that with the example I've given, I couldn't exactly use an int - it would have to be some other kind of object. That's a lesser problem.

Any ideas on how I can get the array into the composite element? Or another way I could handle it?

Map A_B to a real entity instead of a pass-by-value type (composite) and use two one-to-many associations from A to A_B and B to A_B.
