Hibernate之多对多双向关联（比较少用）

（一）基于注解的配置方式：（通过雇主和雇员来解释多对多双向关联）

通过@ManyToMany注解可定义的多对多关联. 同时,你也需要通过注解@JoinTable描述关联表和关联条件. 如果是双向关联,其中一段必须定义为owner,另一端必须定义为inverse(在对关联表进行更新操作时这一端将被忽略):

@Entity
public class Employer implements Serializable {
    @ManyToMany
    @JoinTable(
        name="EMPLOYER_EMPLOYEE",
        joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="Employer_ID"),
        inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="Employee_ID")
    )
    public Collection getEmployees() {
        return employees;
    }
    ...
}
               

@Entity
public class Employee implements Serializable {
    @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "employees") //参数值为Employer中的getEmployees中get后的值：employees
    public Collection getEmployers() {
        return employers;
    }
}
               

被关联端不必也不能描述物理映射: 只需要一个简单的mappedBy参数,该参数包含了主体端的属性名,这样就绑定双方的关系.

（二）基于xml的配置方式：

Student.hbm.xml的配置：

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="hibernate.Student">
<id name="id">
<generator class="native"></generator>
</id>

<property name="name"></property>
<set name="teachers" table="t_s">
<key column="student_id"></key>
<many-to-many class="hibernate.Teacher" column="teacher_id"/>
</set>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Teacher.hbm.xml的配置：

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.bjsxt.hibernate.Teacher">
<id name="id">
<generator class="native"></generator>
</id>

<property name="name"></property>
<set name="students" table="t_s">
<key column="teacher_id"></key>
<many-to-many class="com.bjsxt.hibernate.Student" column="student_id"/>
</set>
    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>
