my class VRCInfoRecord has lot of attributes and a collection of strings.

All the attributes should be saved in the table LOGMIS, the strings from the collection in LOGINFTX.
But it will not work. Hibernate generates just one SQL to insert into LOGMIS but not for LOGINFTX. And there is no exception thrown.

The primary key from the first table should be foreign key in the second.
What's wrong with my xml-File.

Here is my xml-File:

<class name="de.ifbfag.crk.util.log.VRCInfoRecord" table="LOGMIS" >
<id name="id" type="long" column="ID">
<generator class="native" />
</id>

<property name="mandant" type="long" column="NR_MANDANT" />
<property name="stichtag" column="DAT_STICHTAG" type="de.ifbfag.crk.data.datum.UTDate"/>
<property name="timestamp" column="TIMESTAMP" type="com.ifbag.okular.db.datum.UTDateTime"/>
<property name="nrLogDatei" type="int" column="NR_LOG" />

<list name="beschreibung" table="LOGINFTX">
<key column="ID" not-null="true" />
<list-index column="POS" base="1" />
<element column="BESCHREIBUNG" type="string" />

</list>
</class>

Try to initialize the lists in your model class with

private List beschreibung = new ArrayList();

Without any of your Java code this is just a pure guess, but not to initialize the lists can lead to the described behaviour.
