Hibernate自带表与连接表映射多对一

Question

I have a brain cramp trying to figure this mapping out.

Here's my db:

CUSTOMER              CUSTOMERFAMILY                CUSTOMER
PK SITE_ID -----------PRIMARYSITE_ID             -- PK SITE_ID
                      MEMBERSITE_ID -------------|

This creates a relation where a Customer can only have one parent (since there's a unique constrain on CUSTOMERFAMILY.MEMBERSITE_ID) and a Customer can have many children. (ie Pepsi Co. owns FritoLay, Gatorade, etc. so PepsiCo will have several children but Gatorade only has one parent: PepsiCo).

I'm trying to map a property in my Customer object called parent, I've tried many combinations of this idea without success:

<join table="CUSTOMERFAMILY" inverse="false">
    <key column="MEMBERSITE_ID" unique="true" />
    <many-to-one name="parent" column="SITE_ID" not-null="true"><formula>PRIMARYSITE_ID</formula></many-to-one>
</join>

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

(Please don't ask why the DB is designed this way...legacy system, it wasn't me! ;) )

Answer 1

Assuming that you have

private Customer parent;
private Set<Customer> children;

mapping looks like this:

<set name = "children" table = "CUSTOMERFAMILY">            
    <key column="PRIMARYSITE_ID" />
    <many-to-many column = "MEMBERSITE_ID" entity-name="package.Customer" />
</set>

<join table="CUSTOMERFAMILY" inverse="true">
    <key column="MEMBERSITE_ID" />
    <many-to-one name="parent" column = "PRIMARYSITE_ID" />
</join>
