Thanks Thomas,

I think I'll go with the two table approach.  Data modeling has never
been my strong suit.

Hi Rex,

 From an OJB point of view you can well keep both classes in one table. 
There is a sample on how to use a RowReader for this in tutorial 3.
We are currently working on a Solution for nested Attributes that will 
make such things even more easy.

But from entity relationship modelling point of view it is much cleaner 
to keep both classes in separate tables.
It will avoid data redundancy.

cheers,
Thomas
