hi all!

I having problems saving a collection while saving an object.

i have object order that has Set of items which i want to save with each order:

I'm using xdoclet to generate hibernate configs.

/**
* @hibernate.set name="items" table="CART_ITEMS"
* @hibernate.collection-composite-element class="org.petsoar.cart.CartItem"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="ORDER_ID"
**/
public Set getItems() {
return items;
}

public void setItems(Set items) {
this.items = items;
}


what i want to accomplish is to have each time an order is saved - to save a list of items into table cart_items,

most particularly im interested in saving individual item's quantity and SKU

any ideas why following is not working ?

maybe i need a different approach, i'm pretty new to hibernate

I have had similar problems. What is the error that you are getting? If you remove RI from your database tables, this might help you.

Are you in a session bean for your commit? Or another type of transaction?

i'm not getting any errors, but the collection is not being saved into table.

maybe some one can just suggest a way to do what i need as i am not sure that my solution is the right one,

i have order object that i'm saving and each order will have a Set of items
the getItems() method return a subclass of HashSet that contains my cart items.

i need each item to be written to a separate table along with order_id, but it can't just be an item id - it should also have quantity and sku
