Hello,
Here is the case:
The object model.
[MyObject] (1)-----(1) [DataList] (1) ----- (0..*) [Data]
Here are the classes (simplified for better overview)
[code]
public class MyObject {
DataList dataList;
}
public class DataList {
List<Data> data;
}
public class Data {
....
}
[/code]
The DataList class just holds a list of Data. You could say: why don't you put the list of Data in MyObject class then? The reason is that I need the DataList class for XML mapping and I want to use the same classes for the JPA mapping.
Now the problem is that mapping DataList also as a database table would be nothing but overhead. In the database I would like to make it look something like:
[MyObject](1)-----(0..*)[Data] and map it to the above mentioned object model.
I couldn't find a way to do this.
Is there a way to map this using JPA?
Thanks in advance.
