Hibernate 4 - Can add extra field(s) to @ManyToMany Hibernate extra table?

Question

I have same question which was answered in hibernate 3 here . However, I can't apply this to hibernate 4 as there is no @CollectionOfElements annotation. Can someone provide the solution that can be executed using hibernate 4?

EDIT: changed @CollectionOfElements to @ElementCollection worked for me. What should I do with @JoinTable now, because there is no table field in there.

Answer 1

Hibernate 4 only supports the standard JPA annotation, which is @ElementCollection .

Note that even Hibernate 3 recommends using this standard annotation :

Deprecated. use @ElementCollection
