Hi, I need some help. I am trying to use some transient values in a OneToMany Mapping, but the transient values are created as colums in the database.
I have a ProductBO Class, which contains a RegionType Class. In database, i have a product_table, which has a region_id. This is a forign key to the region_table. The region_table has a composite key: region_id, locale_language, locale_variant. The problem is that the product_table to map regions correctly, the product_table should also be able to map the locale_language and locale_variant colums. But i cannot have these columns in the product_table. The way i thought i could get around this, was to store in the ProductBO class, the localeLanaguage and localeVariant, as transient member variables. public class ProductBo implements Serializable { @Transient private String localLanguage; @Transient private String localeVariant; @ManyToOne @JoinColumns({ @JoinColumn(name="region_id", referencedColumnName="region_id"), @JoinColumn(name="localeLanguage", referencedColumnName="locale_language"), @JoinColumn(name="localeVariant", referencedColumnName="locale_variant") }) private RegionType region; So in pseudo SQL the following should happen. Where "en" comes from the localeLanaguge field in the ProductBo, and "cm" comes from the localeVariant field in the ProductBo. SELECT region FROM product_table prod, region_table reg WHERE prod.region_id = reg.region_id AND region.locale_lanaguage = "en" AND region.locale_variant = "cm" I have tried to do that in the join above, but unsuccessfully. When i create this database (using the Schema Export feature of hibernate), the product_table, has two extra fields added (localeLanugage and localeVariant) which should not be present, as they are defined as @Transient. I think I need a line simlar to @JoinColumn(name="localeVariant", referencedColumnName="locale_variant") But where referencedColumnName="locale_variant" value is gotten from name="localeVariant" (which is a member variable of the ProductBo object). eg if localeVariant had a value "en", then the locale_variant would use this value.
