Foreign key not being created in child entity

I have two entities that have a one to many relationship.The parent entity's primary key is a foreign key in the child entity.These are mapped as shown below in the code snippet:

public abstract class Claimant implements Serializable {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = -811235823828480105L;

        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE)
        @Column(name = "ID")
        protected Long id;

        @OneToMany(mappedBy="claimant",cascade=CascadeType.ALL,targetEntity=Payee.class)
        protected Collection<? extends Payee> payees;


and then in the Payee class :

public abstract class Payee implements Serializable {
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE)
        @Column(name = "ID")
        protected Long id;

        @ManyToOne
        @JoinColumn(name = "CLAIMANT_ID")
        private Claimant claimant;


When I persist a Claimant entity , the attached Payee get persisted , but the Claimant entity's primary key is not written to the Payee tables "CLAIMANT_ID" column.

What am missing?
