Hello,

I'm using Hibernate 3.6.9-FINAL with annotations. I'm working on a legacy database that I can't modify. I'm looking for a way of doing the following with annotations.
I have to execute the basic crud operations on a table with three columns: id, name and account. The account has a primary key constraint on it. I was hoping I could create a pojo that just has the three fields where the account is an array and when I saveOrUpdate Hibernate will look at it as individual items:



If I saveOrUpdate this, the account-array is serialized as one object, is there an annotation that allows me to define a one-to-many or something in the same table? Perhaps I have to reverse the whole thing, look at it from the account.

thanks for any thoughts,
Lino

I was looking at the @ElementCollection annotation here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Persi ... Collection but that still uses a 1-to-n relation...
