Hi,
I am using the JBoss Hibernate plug in for eclipse and attempting to reverse 
engineer my pojos from a mysql database.  I have been able to do this with some 
success and i do see that the one-to-many and many-to-many properties are 
definied in the hbm files.  What is happening however, is if i have pojo that 
represents a one to many relationship, and i make changes to both tables, only 
the single 'one' table is updated.  

For example, let's say i have a Person and a PersonAddress table that contain 
foreign key relationships.  When i reverse engineer the Pojos from this 
database, what is created is a Person pojo which also contains a Set of 
PersonAddress:

    public Set<PersonAddress> getPersonAddresses() {
        return this.personAddresses;
    }

public void setPersonAddresses(Set<PersonAddress> personAddresses) {
        this.personAddresses = personAddresses;
    }
     public void setPersonAddresses(Set<PersonAddress> personAddresses) {
        this.personAddresses = personAddresses;
    }

If i update the Person.name and use hibernate to save that change, all works 
well.
If i update the name and also add a new address however, the name changes, but 
the address is not added to the PersonAddress table. 

I am wondering if need to individually add the address first or if the above 
scenario should just work if i create a new PersonAddress, add it to the Person 
object using the setPersonAddresses method, and simply updating the Person 
object.

thanks much any help regarding this,
Mark
