hibernate problem

[Omega]

I have a problem with Hibernate.
Lets say I have class A, BList and B. They look like this:

class A {

private long id;
private BList list;

get/setXXX();

otherMethods();
}

class BList {

private ArrayList<B> bList;

add/remove/etc.
}

class B {

some private fields;
}

I would like to transfer those classes into database with two relations: As
and Bs, and Bs would have a foreign key to class A. How can I do that using
hibernate? Should I use <nested-composite-element>?

Thanks in advance

Given this sketch of the problem, I'm having a hard time seeing what you're
gaining by the class BList. Eliminate it, and your mapping problem becomes
basically canonical:


class A {
private Long id;
Set<B> bs;
}

class B {
}


<class name="A" table="A">
....
<set name="bs" table="B">
<key column="A_FK">
<composite-element class="B">
....
</composite-element>
</set>
....
</class>

I know it would be easiest to change the model, but it is a given, it is
rather large and it would be defficult to change it know. Is it any way to
transfer it without changing the model?
