Saving bidirectional ManyToMany

Question

I have two entity classes annotated in the following way

@Entity
class A {
   @ManyToMany(mappedBy=\"A\", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
   private List b         


        

Answer 1

Maybe there is a small mistake in A_M's answer. In my opinion it should be:

   @Entity
   class B { 
   @ManyToMany 
   @JoinTable (
       name="A_B",
       joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name="B_ID")},
       inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name="A_ID")}
   )
   private List a; 
   .. 
}
