Hibernate (JPA) Entity with Static collection as a member
- by Kyle Partridge
Is it possible to have a static collection as a member of a hibernate entity?
Say I have an object Question:
public class Question {
private String category;
...
}
Would it be possible to populate a static Set<String> that is a distinct set of all categories in the Database? I know I could just query this, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant solution, as it seems like something that other people may have come across.
