Hey,

Lets say i have - Department
Department has a List of Emploee (@OneToMany).

I want to add one emploee to the list withot loading the whole collection.

department.getEmployee().add(emploee)
will load the collection and it is bad if i have a big collection.


Thank you

do employee.setdepartment(), you won't have to load the whole collection

I dont lova to have bi-directional , because its require to take care of the two directios.

Also lets say that i have
Department with List of Employee
And also BussinessUnit with List of Employee

You need to have two functions of addElementToCollection.

Also remove is more complicated.

is there any alternative way to add to the collection without load it?

Thank you

no make it bidirectional
having a unidirectional onetomany should be very uncommon

If it is list , so the getCollection.add not load the collection
