Hibernate version:3.1.3

Something I searched upon and did not get an answer to.

Well, to begin with, I am trying to implement Hibernate on legacy DB, which is pretty much denormalized.

Is there any way, how I would be able to write multiple hibernate mappings for a same class?

I faced this problem when I first mapped one column CA1 of Tabel A to a column in Table B CB1 as a foreign key in Table B. But, now I want to map the same column CA1 of Table A to be mapped as a foreign key in another table Table C too.

I get the duplicate mapping error, which I was expecting anyways.

Question is, how do I do this?

I don't think you'll be able to do it multiple times on a class. YOu could always duplicate the class and put it into different packages?
