Hibernate version: HIbernate 3

Hi folks. For DP reasons I am going to give a like for like example of the problem I am seeing.

Say I have classes

Name (id_san, position_san)

and

Position (id_san, code)

Name is mapped with

<many-to-one
name="position"
class="model.Position"
cascade="none"
outer-join="true"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="position_san"
/>

Position has no reverse mappings. It only contains the primary key id property and the code property. Nothing else.

Now

I have an instance of Position (1000, 'A')

which I set to the name

name.setPosition(position)

and then save the name entity, the position_san is not being populated with the id of the Position, but if I make the association by hand by setting the position_san in the database and then fetch the Name then the Position comes out as well.

How can I get the position's id to save in position_san when I save the name? (including different mapping logic if I am doing this fundamentaly wrong)

thank you :)

what's xml for second entity ? what for is outer-join?

I did not post the xml for the second entity because it contains nothing of importance. Only an id and a few properties. No relationships.
