Hibernate version:2.1.6

If I have a collection (in this case a List) of components, that I have mapped as follows:

<list>
<key name="owning_class_id"/>

<composite-element class="foo">
<property name=p1/>
<property name=p2/>
<property name=p3/>
</composite-element>

</list>


Do I have to write (and register) a mapping file for class "foo"?
If so, what parameters do I use for the <id> mapping tag in foo.hbm.xml?

If not, why the heck am I getting a:
"No persister for: foo"
error message when I try and persist the owning class of the collection?

I get this too ... any one shed some light on this????

I gave up on the <list> mapping and mapped it as a many-to-one relationship.

I am using the list and it works fine. I use the list with because I can specify an order for the items and also add additional information to the object via the composite tags.

Im very happy for you. Thanks.

Ta!-)

The reason I think you were getting a no persister exception is that you tried to 'save' or 'update' the composite object directly. When I tried this from the list it throw up the same exception.

Let me know if thats clear or if you can prove me wrong.

Post your code as well so we can all see what you're doing.
