建立一对多双向自身关联关系

    以Category类为例，它代表商品类别，存在一对多双向自身关联关系。
    在category类中定义两个属性:
    .parentCategory:引用父类别的Category对象
    .childCategories:引用一组子类别的Category对象
                   食品类别
                   /      /
                  /        /
              蔬菜类别    水果类别
                 |         /     /
                 |        /       /
            西红柿类别  苹果类别  桔子类别
           
   
    Category类的源程序:
   
    package mypack;
   
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import java.util.Set;
    import java.util.HashSet;
   
    public class Category implements Serializable{
     private Long id;
     private String name;
      private Category,parentCategory;
     private Set childCategories = new HashSet();
     
     //此处省略构造方法，以及id和name属性的访问方法
   ...
   
    public Category getParentCategory(){
    return parentCategory;
   }
   
   public void setParentCategory(Category parentCategory){
    this.parentCategory = parentCategory;
   }
   
   public Set getChildCategories(){
    return childCategories;
   }
   
   public void setChildCategories(Set childCategories){
    this.childCategories = childCategories;
   }
    }
   
    Category类的映射文件Category.hbm.xml:
   
    <hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="mypack.Category" table="CATEGORIES">
     <id name="id" type="long" column="ID">
      <generator class="increment"/>
     </id>
    
     <property name="name" type="string">
      <column name="NAME" length="15"/>
     </property>
     
      <many-to-one name="parentCategory" column="CATEGORY_ID"
           class="mypack.Category" />
          
     <set name="childCategories" cascade="save-update" inverse="true">
      <key column="CATEGORY_ID"/>
      <one-to-many class="mypack.Category"/>
     </set>
    </class>
   </hibernate-mapping>
