i'm happy it solved your problem.
you can define relationships or fields in any class-descriptor, abstract or concrete. in your case you need it in the abstract because of A pointing to S. but if you would query for all B or C pointing to a D (ie. D.name) then the definition in concrete B and D are used. i admit it would be easier if ojb would support inheritence of descriptors. but that's another story.

This did indeed solve the problem. In summary, repository.xml has:
- Foreign key field defined in subclasses only - Relationship defined in subclasses and in superclass
And in Java the relationship accessors are defined in the superclass only.
I didn't even know that one could put fields or relationships in the superclass in repository.xml. Thanks for pointing this out, Jakob!
