Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Name and version of the database you are using: MS Sql Server 2000


I am trying to make a listing of categories and subcategories, and would like some input on the best way to do this. I would like to make one Category class, and in the class have a reference to a parent and to any children.

ex.



My question is how do I map this and store it in a database?

Hi majohnst,

Take time to read the Hibernate documentation on the web site, it is very good and I think by reading the initial chapters you'll find your answer there, as I did when I began using Hibernate.

We've also invested in the Hibernate In Action book which provides a wealth of knowledge.

Good luck,
Roll
