Using Hibernate List

hi guys
I am using hibernate with SQL server 2005 database.
I have three tables. The tables are

Project
PROJECT_ID (PK)
Name

Users
USER_ID (PK)
Fname
Lname

Project_Users
PROJECT_ID (PK)
USER_ID (PK)
Role

The requirments are straight forward:

one project can have multiple users. One user can work on multiple projects.

When user is searched by UserId, all the projects for that user should be retrieved.

When Project is searched by projectId, user information need not be fetched. Only projectId and project name are shown.

I am trying to use 'List' to represent the above relationships but want to make sure i am doing right. Since its a bidirectional relationship, i have inverse="true"

My Project.hbm.xml

 <class name="hibernate.entity.Project" table="PROJECT" catalog="eProject">
        <id name="projectId" type="int">
            <column name="PROJECT_ID"/>
            <generator class="assigned" />
        </id>
        <property name="name" type="string">
            <column name="NAME" length="50" not-null="true" unique="true"  />
        </property>
        
         <list name="projectUserses" inverse="true">         
      	<key column="PROJECT_ID" not-null="true"/> 
    	<list-index column="USER_ID"/>          
 	<one-to-many class="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsers"/>
          </list>
    </class>

Open in new window

User.hbm.xml

<class name="hibernate.entity.Users" table="USERS" catalog="eProject">
        <id name="userId" type="string">
            <column name="USER_ID" length="20" />
            <generator class="assigned" />
        </id>
        <property name="firstName" type="string">
            <column name="FIRST_NAME" length="50" />
        </property>
        <property name="lastName" type="string">
            <column name="LAST_NAME" length="50" />
        </property>
        
         <list name="projectUserses" inverse="true">         
      	<key column="USER_ID" not-null="true"/> 
    	<list-index column="PROJECT_ID"/>          
     	<one-to-many class="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsers"/>
         </list>
  </class>

Open in new window

projectUser.hbm.xml

<class name="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsers" table="PROJECT_USERS" catalog="eProject">
        <composite-id name="id" class="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsersId">

            </key-property>
            <key-property name="userId" type="string">
                <column name="USER_ID" length="20" />
            </key-property>
        </composite-id>
        <many-to-one name="users" class="hibernate.entity.Users" lazy="false" update="false" insert="false" fetch="select">
            <column name="USER_ID" length="20" not-null="true" />
        </many-to-one>

>>>The many-to-many relationship here unfortunately is NOT applicable. It is because there is an additional field "Role" in your M-to-M table Project_Users

thanks for this sugession dude. A bunch of guys said use Many to many but i think it cannot be done because there is a Role field.

>>>You may consider using "Set" instead of "List",
I dont want to. I am using a flex UI , so i want to use List. Flex does not have much support for Set.
I can always modify the query to get distinct* projects.

but the problem i am facing right now is in this section
<list name="projectUserses" inverse="true" lazy=false>
      <key column="PROJECT_ID" not-null="true"/>
      <list-index column="USER_ID"/>
     <one-to-many class="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsers"/>
</list>

It says list cannot be initialized

Would you like to post the error message you got and tell at what situation you got it hit?

i am searching by id 227565 which is the projectId (corresponding to hibernate.entity.Project)
but getting this error::

just to clarify
Project contains projectUserses List . so this is my mapping:

<list name="projectUserses" table="PROJECT_USERS" inverse="true" lazy="false" fetch="select">         
 <key column="PROJECT_ID" not-null="true"/>  
 <list-index column="USER_ID" />            
 <one-to-many class="hibernate.entity.ProjectUsers" />
 </list>

Open in new window

My question is
<key column="PROJECT_ID" not-null="true"/> -- should this be key of PROJECT table or
PROJECT_USERS table ?

<list-index column="USER_ID" /> -- I have indexed USER_ID column in PROJECT_USERS table.Is that correct ?

Also i just noticed: The detailed error is:

I think this line >><list-index column="USER_ID" /> is the primary suspect?

any help will be greatly appreciated. I am struggling to get this last two days.

thanks.
