Hi All,

I just cannot use @CollectionOfElements with @Embeddable. The following is my classes and mappings:

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class AbstractEntity implements Serializable {
@CollectionOfElements
protected Set<Audit> audits;
...
}

@Embeddable
public class Audit implements Serializable {
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "user_id", nullable = false)
protected User user;

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@Column(name = "time_stamp")
protected Date timeStamp = null;
...
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "test_result")
public class TestResult extends AbstractEntity {
...
}

Hibernate created the following table:

CREATE TABLE `test_result_audits` (
`test_result_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
`timeStamp` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`user` tinyblob,
KEY `FK7698D96DD913D5B7` (`test_result_id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK7698D96DD913D5B7` FOREIGN KEY (`test_result_id`) REFERENCES `test_result` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

The annotations in the Embeddable class are totally ignored. I have tried different ways in the past several days, but nothing worked.

Any help will be appreciated.
