Hi,
Iam able to achieve Employee manager relationship by creating Employee object First and then adding the manager Object to it and getting both objects persisted the right way.

refer post: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=954771


But I need to create the manager Object first and add employees to the manager object and get them persisted.
I should only give session.save(Manager) instead of session.save(Employee).

Is there any specific changes I need to make to the hbm file for this?
I tried it and was not able to achieve it.

I don't know if this question is really dumb. :-(

The first reply to your other post seems to be exactly what you are asking for here, isn't it?

errr....
Actually I din't understand what you said?
:-(

You said that this is what you need: "But I need to create the manager Object first and add employees to the manager object and get them persisted.
I should only give session.save(Manager) instead of session.save(Employee). "

And in the link you posted, one of the replies says the following:

Have a cascade="save-update" on the set mapping that contains the members for a Manager. The following code works for me

Employee manager = new Employee();
manager.setName("Manager 1");
manager.setMembers(new HashSet());
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.setName("Employee 1");
emp.setManager(manager);
manager.getMembers().add(emp);
session.saveOrUpdate(manager);



The will let you add employees to the manager, and just save the manager. Cascade is the key for making that happen. Isn't this what you are asking?

Hey.
I got it worked. I was so dumb!!! :-(

Any way thanks for the reply buddy. :-)
