Hi Ajiyos, I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to link A and B without having a ManyToMany association, or are you asking whether you can use the ManyToMany association but not use a join table?
You definitely do not need a third entity to link A and B, but we will create a join table A_B to maintain the relationships.
