Consider this following scenario:

public class OmSite implements java.io.Serializable {

//OmSitePK.class is also created as per the specifications
//for these two fields. No issue with that
@Persistent(primaryKey = "true", dependent = "false")
@Column(allowsNull = "false", name = "site_id")
private String siteId;

@Persistent(primaryKey = "true", dependent = "false")
@Column(allowsNull = "false", name = "org_id")
private String orgId;

@Persistent(columns = {@Column(name="address_id", target = "address_id"), 
@Column(name="org_id", target = "org_id")})
@Optional
private OmAddress omAddress;

@Persistent(columns = { @Column(name = "location_id"),
@Column(name = "org_id")})
@Optional
private OmGeoLocation omGeoLocation;
//Corresponding PK classes also created as per the specifications.

//getters and setters

}


Here I have 1 composite PK(site_id, org_id), 2 composite FK's
OmGeoLocation(location_id,org_id), OmAddress(address_id, org_id).
As you can see same column org_id is being used/referred at 3 places

With this mapping, when OmSite is constructed with its PK fields(orgId, siteId) 
and other mandatory fields. But not FK fields(omGeoLocation, omAddress), I have 
got not-null constraint error for one of the fields in compiste PK that is 
org_id.

And when I construct OmSite by setting FKS (omGeoLocation, omAddress)also with 
org_id being same accorss PK and FK's, org_id value is being sent to Database.


I suspect that org_id column is set when all the fields are set which use 
org_id column.
This is not valid behaviour. Because OmGeoLocation and OmAddress are optional.

Please help on this issue

Thanks
