Hi,
I have a field/member which has this type;
public Map<String, Writer> getWriters() {
return writers;
}

the key of the map is not a property of the writer, so a join table is needed. How do I map this using an orm xml file?

I tried this:
<orm:one-to-many name="writers">
<orm:map-key-class class="java.lang.String"/>
<orm:join-table/>
<orm:cascade>
<orm:cascade-all/>
</orm:cascade>
</orm:one-to-many>

But then I get this:
The field [BOOK.WRITERS_KEY] in this expression has an invalid table in this context.

Hmm this seems to work fine:
<orm:one-to-many name="writers">
<orm:map-key-class class="java.lang.String"/>
<orm:map-key-column table="_1303556303411"/>
<orm:join-table name="_1303556303411"/>
<orm:cascade>
<orm:cascade-all/>
</orm:cascade>
</orm:one-to-many>

So I explicitly set the table of the map key column, if I don't set the tablename in the map-key-column/join-table then
EclipseLink throws an exception (the same as in the previous post). But I prefer EclipseLink to generate the table name,
is there a mapping I can use without specifying an explicit table name?

gr. Martin

The table should be defaulted if not specified, please log a bug.
As a workaround just set the table to what would be generated.
