Hibernate @ManyToOne - only one direction relation

Question

I got classes:

@Entity
@Table(name="users")
public class User{

private Integer id;
private String name;
private Address address; 
}

and:

    @Entity
    @Table(name="adress")
    public class Adress{

        private Integer id;
        private String street;
        (...)
}

Any way how to map relation @ManyToOne (many users can have the same adres), BUT I don't want to have property List< User > users in my Address class?

Answer 1

Add the annotation @ManyToOne to the address field. Problem solved. For details on how this can be customized, see the Hibernate reference manual. Typically you would use

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "addressId")
private Address address;
