When i do this operation, entries are getting creating in both tables. But problem, PersonId which is foreign key column in
address table is having value as null.
I am not getting what is the problem with my domain model. If i declare JoinColumn as nullable as false it is working fine . But my requirement is it can be null and if we provide some address, it should have
personId. Please tell me what is wrong with my domain class?

I think there is some issue with your Address class mapping:

Here you are mapping the place attribute to PersonId column. Is this right?

Sorry... I pasted the code wrong. It is as below.

@Column(name = "Place")
public String getPlace()
{
return addresses;
}

Thn is ur code having mapping for personId as well? Can you post the complete new code?
