Hibernate version:
latest

I was wondering if there is a simple way to persist a List of string attached to an object?

ie:
Object A {
private List stringsList;

}

I'd rather not have to create an Object that only holds a string to persist in my collection if I don't have to. Id like the all-delete-orphan semantics on the List.

Thanks,
David

Please read the documentation.

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/refer ... s-ofvalues

try this:

<list name="strings" table="string_list" cascade="all-delete-orphan">
<key column="parent_id"/>
<element type="string" column="string_col"/>
</list>

Excellent I will give that a try. And Max I've read the docs many times but there is a LOT of information to try and keep track of, which is why there are really nice people like you and ccanning to help everyone else out =)

Thanks^
