JPA not saving foreign key to @OneToMany relation

Question

I\'m using Spring with Hibernate as a JPA provider and are trying to get a @OneToMany (a contact having many phonenumbers) to save the foreign key in the phone numbers table

Answer 1

In reply to Cletus' answer. I would say that it's important to have the @column annotation on the id fields, as well as all the sequence stuff. An alternative to using the mappedBy parameter of the @OneToMany annotation is to use the @JoinColumn annotation.

As a kinda aside your implementation of addPhone needs looking at. It should probably be something like.

public void addPhone(PhoneNumber phone) {
    if (phone == null) {
        return;
    } else {
        if (phoneNumbers == null) {
            phoneNumbers = new ArrayList();
        }
        phoneNumbers.add(phone);
        phone.setContact(this);
    }
}
