Association cardinalities ignored in Hibernate cartridge
--------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HIB-45
         URL: http://team.andromda.org:8080/jira/browse/HIB-45
     Project: Hibernate Cartridge
        Type: Bug
 Environment: Binary release, 3.0-RC1-SNAPSHOT, dated 30. Jan 2005
    Reporter: David R. Allen
 Assigned to: Martin West 


There are some problems with the not-null attribute in *.hbm.xml files.

1.  If association is many-to-one, "inheritance" strategy in use, and 
cardinality is actually 0..1 on the one side, the many side declares the 
foreign key as not-null="true".

2.  If association is many-to-one, no inheritance, and cardinality is actually 
1 on the one side, the foreign key does not have a not-null="true" setting.

Other conditions workout OK, but I believe just due to the constant behavior.  
I suspect that cardinalities are never payed any attention, and that the 
following rules are in effect for association foreign keys:

1.  If any inheritance is used, subclass or inheritance strategies, all 
associations become not-null="true".

2.  If no class hierarchy exists, just a plain single class, all associations 
do not have any not-null attribute specified regardless of whether the model 
requires it or not.
