One-to-Many Mapping
This section illustrates how to map one-to-many relationships with Eclipselink.
The schema below shows a typical 1:M relationship between Customer and PhoneNumber
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/> <xsd:complexType name="customer-type"> <xsd:element name="phone-numbers" type="phone-type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="phone-type"> <xsd:element name="area-code" type="xsd:int"/> <xsd:element name="number" type="xsd:int"/> <xsd:element name="extension" type="xsd:int"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema>
With Java
Java for XML Composite Collection Mapping for a Collection AttributeXMLCompositeCollectionMapping phoneNumbersMapping = new XMLCompositeCollectionMapping(); phoneNumbersMapping.setAttributeName("phoneNumbers"); phoneNumbersMapping.setXPath("phone-number"); phoneNumbersMapping.setReferenceClass(PhoneNumber.class);
XMLCompositeCollectionMapping phoneNumbersMapping = new XMLCompositeCollectionMapping(); phoneNumbersMapping.setAttributeName("phoneNumbers"); phoneNumbersMapping.setXPath("phone-number"); phoneNumbersMapping.setReferenceClass(PhoneNumber.class); phoneNumbersMapping.useMapClass(HashMap.class, "getType");
With EclipseLink Annotations
Use the @OneToMany annotation:
@Entity public class Employee { @OneToMany(mappedBy="contact") private List<PhoneNumber> contactNumber; }
Use the EclipseLink extension @XmlInverseReference to map the back-pointer:
@Entity public class PhoneNumber { @ManyToOne @JoinColumn(name="E_ID", referencedColumnName = "E_ID") @XmlInverseReference(mappedBy="contactNumber") private Employee contact; }
