I think this problem has been discused within the last two month on the mailing list.
There had been two solutions:
- use binding file to omit Prices class ( ArrayList of Price in Product)
- map Prices to a view on Product table
You may have the idea to use Product as a wrapper for Prices and omit a sql mapping
for Prices, but this will not work. The backgroud of this is that marshalling to xml
expects other getter/setter methods than storing to database does.
xml:
Prices getPrices()
void setPrices(Prices prices)
sql:
ArrayList getPrices()
void setPrices(ArrayList prices)
As names for getter/setter methods are defined with field element you can not
define different methods for xml and sql.
Hope this helps
