I'm using ElementCollection annotation, but i can't make it work, looks like hibernate is not processing it.

My code

@Entity(name = "user")
public class User implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 5791136125077815304L;

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Integer id;
private String username;
private String password;
private String mail;
private Date createdOn;

@ElementCollection
@Column(name = "authority")
@CollectionTable(name = "user_authority", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "user_id"))
@Enumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL)
private List<AuthorityEnum> authorityList;
...

public enum AuthorityEnum {
ROLE_ADMIN,
ROLE_USER;

public int getId() {
return ordinal();
}
}

I tried several different things, but every time i save a User i only can see the insert referred to user table, nothing about authorities.

I'm using hibernate 3.6.1-Final, hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0-Final, hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0-Final, atomikos 3.7.0 and spring 3.0.4 under jetty-8.0.0.M2.

Any clue?

Nobody had this problem? I can't solve it.

All that i could find till now is that if i change to HibernateTransactionManager it works.

This is my JTA/Atomikos configuration:

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="shardedDataSource"/>
<property name="packagesToScan" value="ar.com.summerproject.socialnet.server.model"/>

com.atomikos.icatch.jta.hibernate3.TransactionManagerLookup
</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

<!-- Construct Atomikos UserTransactionManager, needed to configure Spring -->
<bean id="atomikosTransactionManager" class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager" init-method="init" destroy-method="close">

</bean>
