This is exactly the point in which MMbase and Hibernate made different design choices. The hibernate guys will tell you never to use many-to-many relations anywhere. There is always a better alternative. MMbase uses many-to-many relations everywhere. But they both solve the persisitency problem
Yes. I haven't really managed to good bidireactional many-to-many mappings in hybernate. I think mostly because I don't know how to model that in OO terms. I think in MMBase terms having a thing like a RelatedNode disscussed presiously would come close to what I would call perfect. In the current MMBase you still have to choose between getting the relation or the related node or the custernode. _______________________________________________ Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.mmbase.org/mailman/listinfo/developers
