In the classic employee table as below
empid (pk)
Name
managerid

Where managerid is FK to empid. I have an employee class as below
public class Employee{
private Long empid;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Employee manager;
}

Where there is many-to-one on manager with Employee class on managerid.

So setting an already persisted employee to a new Employee updates the managerid column of that emplyee wiht the previous one. All good.

However I also want to create a Manager class like so
public class Manager {
private Long empid;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Set employees;

where I have the following tags for employees (using hibernatedoclet to gen mapping file).

@hibernate.set name="employees"
* lazy="true" inverse="true" cascade="all"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="managerid"
* @hibernate.collection-one-to-many class="Employee"


However a test like so --


Employee emp1 = new Employee();
.....
Employee emp2 = new Employee();
....
Set employees = new HasSet();
employees.add(emp1);
employees.add(emp2);

Manager mang = new Manager();
mang.setemployees(employees ) ;

session.saveorupdate(mang);

Saves all three records to the database. However the managerid column of emp1 and emp2 records are null.

What is it that I am missing here? I've spent quite a bit trying to figure out to no avail.

Thanks
