I have two entities - Attribute and AttributeValue
Each Attribute has a number of AttributeValues.
This is mapped as a bi-directional association, with a one-to-many in the Attribute mapping, and a many-to-one in the AttributeValue mapping. inverse="true" is set on the Attribute side. This leads to the desired mapping, and an "attribute" field in the AttributeValue table. So far so good. But.....

When I try to make the collection indexed, it doesn't work because that side of the collection is the inverse.

Am I missing something major here, or is this a serious omission?

on the collection side:inverse=false

on te many-to-one side insert="false" update="false"
