Hi Max, I don't know if it's much use, but an old tutorial I wrote on handling many-to-many relationships in Orion, using the exact same example you use, might be of use to you. You can find it here (it's also on Atlassian.com, but I don't have the link handy).
http://users.sdsc.edu/~whedley/ejb/object_relational_mapping_in_orion.html http://users.sdsc.edu/~whedley/ejb/object_relational_mapping_in_orion.pdf A few things to note: * This is for EJB 1.1, EJB 2.0 defines a standard mechanism for handling this sort of problem. * This works on Orion 1.5.2 and OC4J 1.0.2.2.0, but I've received error reports on other versions of Orion. Someday, I'll get around to updating this document for EJB 2.0, but I'm swamped at the moment.
