Hello, I have a problem concerning mapping of multiple collections.
Lets's say I want to have a List of ZOO's objects.
I have a table called "zoo" with two fields:
id - id of ZOO
name - name of ZOO

Simple export from this table could look like this:
id:1 ; name:ZOO1
id:2 ; name:ZOO2
id:3 ; name:ZOO3


Then I have second table - "Animals" with four fields:
id - id of animal
zoo_id - id of zoo (this is a FK)
animal_type - describes type of animal (there can by only four types of animals: dog, cat, fish, bird)
animal_name - name of animal

A simple export from this table could look as below:
id:1 ; zoo_id:1 ; animal_type og ; animal_name: doggy1
id:2 ; zoo_id:1 ; animal_type og ; animal_name: doggy2
id:3 ; zoo_id:1 ; animal_type:cat ; animal_name: cat1
id:4 ; zoo_id:2 ; animal_type:cat ; animal_name: cat2
id:5 ; zoo_id:2 ; animal_type:fish ; animal_name: fishy1
id:6 ; zoo_id:2 ; animal_type:bird ; animal_name: bird1

Now, I want to have Java class called "ZOO" as follows:

class Zoo{
Set dogs; //can be a Hashset
Set cats;
Set fish;
Set birds;
//I ommitt the rest of the listing of this class
}

Finally, I would like to retrieve from DB the list of ZOO's with eager-fetched animals just by calling
List zooList = session.createCriteria(Zoo.class).list();


As a result I should get List with two elements
element1 - object corresponding to ZOO1 (Set dogs should contain 2 elements ; Set cats should contain 1 elements ; Set fish should contain 0 elements ; Set birds should contain 0 elements)
element2 - object corresponding to ZOO2 (Set dogs should contain 0 elements ; Set cats should contain 1 elements ; Set fish should contain 1 elements ; Set birds should contain 1 elements)

Could you please advise me how to map tables/classes etc.?

Here's just a sample. There might be more ways of doing this.

Zoo.hbm.xml:



Animal.hbm.xml:

Hello,
thank you for reply.
Still I do something wrong.
According to suggestion above, I did a mapping as shown below (I show only mapping for Zoo's):

Zoo.hbm.xml:

code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 2.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd" >

<hibernate-mapping>

<class
name="org.myapp.hibernateobject.Zoo"
table="ZOO"
>

<id>
.....
</id>

<property
name="name"
type="java.lang.String"
column="Name"

>
</property>

<set name="cats" lazy="false" inverse="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan">
<key>
<column name="id" />
</key>

<one-to-many class="org.myapp.hibernateobject.Cat" />
</set>

<set name="dogs" lazy="false" inverse="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan">
<key>
<column name="id" />
</key>

<one-to-many class="org.myapp.hibernateobject.Dog" />
</set>

<set name="fish" lazy="false" inverse="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan">
<key>
<column name="id" />
</key>

<one-to-many class="org.myapp.hibernateobject.Fish" />
</set>




</class>
</hibernate-mapping>



And if I call Cat/Dog/Fish class explicitly everything is ok.
i.e.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Cat.class);
List projects = criteria.list();

produces SQL like this (I simplified this a little):
(ble ble ble) where Animal_Type='Cat' (so the proper mapping is chosen)

But if I call a list of ZOO's
List zooList = session.createCriteria(Zoo.class).list();

for every collection declared in ZOO class (that is: Set dogs; Set cats; Set fish generated SQL looks as follows:

(ble ble ble) where zoo_id=?

and there is missing part " and Animal_Type='Cat' "

Could you please tell me what do I do wrong?
