Is there any way to represent a recursive relationship with annotations in an entity bean ??
I have tried this: @ManyToOne @JoinColumn(name="PARENT_ID", referencedColumnName="ITEM.ITEM_ID") public Item getItem() { return item; } @OneToMany(mappedBy="item") public Collection getItemCollection() { return itemCollection; } But when i try to access the getItemCollection result it crashes The thing is, that the Item entity must have this recursive relationship to provide a hierarchical tree of records Thanks a lot View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3927651#3927651 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3927651 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
