I think you hit the point, but i don't exactly know how i would correct it. The code (snippet) is used to figure out where the problem was, is: var pc = new Packages.papillon.ProfileMenuCategory(); pc.setCategory_id(13); pc.setProfile_id(15); pc.setSortNr(1); dao.insert(pc); I get the following exception: ERROR: DAO (org.apache.ojb.broker.PersistenceBrokerSQLException: SQL failure while insert object data for class papillon.ProfileMenuCategory, PK of the given object is [ profile_id=20 category_id=16], object was [EMAIL PROTECTED], exception message is [FEHLER: Einfügen oder Aktualisieren in Tabelle »rel_profiles_menu_categories« verletzt Fremdschlüssel-Constraint »$1« ]) I try to explain what i wanted to acomplish: Profile has a primary Key MenuCategory has a primary key ProfileMenuCategory has (in the database) a primary key (to ensure the relationship can only exist once) consisting of both of these with a foreign key constraint. When i do this, pc.setCategory_id(13); pc.setProfile_id(15); i want the fields in the database stored, and the instances of category and profile in profilemenucategory populated by the objects corresponding to these ids. How can i accomplish this? (Can you show me how the repository.xml for ProfileMenuCategory should look like?) Thx for your help so far, Christoph
