Optional one-to-one mapping in Hibernate
- by hibernate
How do I create an optional one-to-one mapping in the hibernate hbm file? For example, suppose that I have a User and a last_visited_page table. The user may or may not have a last_visited page. Here is my current one-to-one mapping in the hbm file:
User Class:
<one-to-one name="lastVisitedPage" class="LastVisitedPage" cascade="save-update">
LastVisitedPage Class:
<one-to-one name="user" class="user" constrained="true" />
The above example does not allow the creation of a user who does not have a last visited page. A freshly created user has not visited any pages yet. How do I change the hbm mapping to make the userPrefs mapping optional?
