Is there is any *better* way to do this other that creating a seperate table ? I do
not want Join wihile I am getting a attribute only.
=======================================================
But, if the representation is "collection of primitives" instead of
"collection of objects" ,
Do we need to create a sepetrate table.
How do we represent multi-valued primitive attribute ?
For eg:
class MyObj {
int[] winningNumbers;
public int[] getWiningNumbers()
{ return winingNumbers;}
public void setWiningNumbers (int[] no)
{ winingNumbers = no;}
}
how do we represent the "winingNumbers" field.
thanks

sure, why not?
if you don't have a collection-descriptor for a given attribute, it
won't be
persisted to the db.
You can fill the workstations attribute with
broker.getCollectionByQuery(...)
