Hi all,
In the (wonderfull) bauer book, when mapping association with component (p307). The book puts the annotation (CollectionOFElements, Parent ... for example) on the field. In my situation it's never works, annotation seem to be silently ignored.
But when I put them on the getter, it's all work.

Is it a typo / bug or should I investigate more deeply ?

I've used hibernate 3.2.1 (annotation etc ... 3.2.1) and also hibernate 3.2.4 ( .... ) conforming to the compatibility matrix with the same result.

Thanks

It depends where you put the @Id annotation. If it's on a field, all others also go on fields. If it's on a getter method, all others have to be a getter method. If you download the source code for CaveatEmptor, you should find working examples of @CollectionOfElements.

It's all Ok now Many thanks Christian.
