I have two tables in mysql which takes data from two different forms for user registration

Table1: user - gets data from registration form 1
Table2: userextrainfo - [foreignkey userid] - gets data from registratoin form 2

I have
1. User.hbm.xml
2. UserExtraInfo.hbm.xml

In the User.hbm.xml I have:

<many-to-one name="userExtraInfo"
not-null="false"
class="com.egrabs.user.UserExtraInfo"
column="userid"
foreign-key="userid"
insert="false"
update="false">
</many-to-one>

After entering the data in registration form 1, when i click the "Continue" button, The following exception is thrown:

When I looked into the script of the user table in mysql there was an extra foreign key which I did not define while creating the table - "user":

CONSTRAINT `userid` FOREIGN KEY (`userid`) REFERENCES `userextrainfo` (`userextrainfoid`),


This occurs because of defining the relationship in the User.hbm.xml. But I cannot avoid this relationship as I am using it somewhere else. Can someone please suggest some solution to it.


Thanks
