What is the difference between inversedBy and mappedBy?

Question

I am developing my application using Zend Framework 2 and Doctrine 2.

While writting annotations, I am unable to understand the difference between mappedBy

Answer 1

• mappedBy has to be specified on the inversed side of a (bidirectional) association
• inversedBy has to be specified on the owning side of a (bidirectional) association

from doctrine documentation:

• ManyToOne is always the owning side of a bidirectional assocation.
• OneToMany is always the inverse side of a bidirectional assocation.
• The owning side of a OneToOne assocation is the entity with the table containing the foreign key.

See https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/unitofwork-associations.html
