Hi All,

I have a Java Class, let's call it Bill that has a description field.
The description can be an unlimited number of sentences. I've modeled
this in mysql so that the Bill table has a text_id foreign key into the
Text table.

The java description is broken into multiple lines of 256 char each, and
then each block inserted into the Text table as a separate row, with an
id and a sequence number as the primary key. In this way many rows in
the Text table actually represents one description object in java. 

So the question is, how do I map multiple database rows into one java
object (Description) that is then mapped to another java object
(Bill).this?

[Bill Table]
Bill Id
Name
...
Description id


[Text Table]
Description Id
Sequence
Value

---------------------------

A text table may look like this:

Description ID   Sequence   Value
1                       1               This is the first part of the
long description
1                       2               that explains what this bill is.
2                       1               This is another long description
that belongs 
2                       2               to bill number two.
