Mapping components

Users may have multiple email addresses:

public class User {

	  Set<Email> email;
	  ...

Using embedded values we need an @ElementCollection declaration to achieve a proper mapping:

package component.emails;
	  ...
	  public class User {
	  ...
	  private Set<Email> emails = new HashSet<Email>();
	  @ElementCollection 
	  public Set<Email> getEmails() { return emails; }
	  ...

This will map component.emails.Email entries in a separate table:

package component.emails;
	  ...
	  public class PersistUser {
	  public static void main(String[] args) {
	  final Session session = HibernateUtil.createSessionFactory("component/emails/hibernate.cfg.xml").openSession();
	  {
          final Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
          final User u = new User(123, "goik", "Martin Goik");
          u.getEmails().add(new Email("goik@hdm-stuttgart.de"));
          u.getEmails().add(new Email("goma@someserver.org"));
          session.save(u);
          transaction.commit();
	  } ...
