[hibernate-mapping] How can I map "insert='false' update='false'" on a composite-id key-property which is also used in a one-to-many FK?

I am working on a legacy code base with an existing DB schema. The existing code uses SQL and PL/SQL to execute queries on the DB. We have been tasked with making a small part of the project database-engine agnostic (at first, change everything eventually). We have chosen to use Hibernate 3.3.2.GA and "*.hbm.xml" mapping files (as opposed to annotations). Unfortunately, it is not feasible to change the existing schema because we cannot regress any legacy features.

The problem I am encountering is when I am trying to map a uni-directional, one-to-many relationship where the FK is also part of a composite PK. Here are the classes and mapping file...

CompanyEntity.java

public class CompanyEntity {
    private Integer id;
    private Set<CompanyNameEntity> names;
    ...
}

CompanyNameEntity.java

public class CompanyNameEntity implements Serializable {
    private Integer id;
    private String languageId;
    private String name;
    ...
}

CompanyNameEntity.hbm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.jboss.org/dtd/hibernate/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping package="com.example">

    <class name="com.example.CompanyEntity" table="COMPANY">
        <id name="id" column="COMPANY_ID"/>
        <set name="names" table="COMPANY_NAME" cascade="all-delete-orphan" fetch="join" batch-size="1" lazy="false">
            <key column="COMPANY_ID"/>
            <one-to-many entity-name="vendorName"/>
        </set>
    </class>

    <class entity-name="companyName" name="com.example.CompanyNameEntity" table="COMPANY_NAME">
        <composite-id>
            <key-property name="id" column="COMPANY_ID"/>
            <key-property name="languageId" column="LANGUAGE_ID"/>
        </composite-id>
        <property name="name" column="NAME" length="255"/>
    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

This code works just fine for SELECT and INSERT of a Company with names. I encountered a problem when I tried to update and existing record. I received a BatchUpdateException and after looking through the SQL logs I saw Hibernate was trying to do something stupid...

update COMPANY_NAME set COMPANY_ID=null where COMPANY_ID=?

Hibernate was trying to dis-associate child records before updating them. The problem is that this field is part of the PK and not-nullable. I found the quick solution to make Hibernate not do this is to add "not-null='true'" to the "key" element in the parent mapping. SO now may mapping looks like this...

CompanyNameEntity.hbm.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.jboss.org/dtd/hibernate/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping package="com.example">

    <class name="com.example.CompanyEntity" table="COMPANY">
        <id name="id" column="COMPANY_ID"/>
        <set name="names" table="COMPANY_NAME" cascade="all-delete-orphan" fetch="join" batch-size="1" lazy="false">
            <key column="COMPANY_ID" not-null="true"/>
            <one-to-many entity-name="vendorName"/>
        </set>
    </class>

    <class entity-name="companyName" name="com.example.CompanyNameEntity" table="COMPANY_NAME">
        <composite-id>
            <key-property name="id" column="COMPANY_ID"/>
            <key-property name="languageId" column="LANGUAGE_ID"/>
        </composite-id>
        <property name="name" column="NAME" length="255"/>
    </class>

</hibernate-mapping>

This mapping gives the exception...

org.hibernate.MappingException: Repeated column in mapping for entity: companyName column: COMPANY_ID (should be mapped with insert="false" update="false")

My problem now is that I have tryed to add these attributes to the key-property element but that is not supported by the DTD. I have also tryed changing it to a key-many-to-one element but that didn't work either. So...

How can I map "insert='false' update='false'" on a composite-id key-property which is also used in a one-to-many FK?

"Dino TW" has provided the link to the comment Hibernate Mapping Exception : Repeated column in mapping for entity which has the vital information.

The link hints to provide "inverse=true" in the set mapping, I tried it and it actually works. It is such a rare situation wherein a Set and Composite key come together. Make inverse=true, we leave the insert & update of the table with Composite key to be taken care by itself.

Below can be the required mapping,

<class name="com.example.CompanyEntity" table="COMPANY">
    <id name="id" column="COMPANY_ID"/>
    <set name="names" inverse="true" table="COMPANY_NAME" cascade="all-delete-orphan" fetch="join" batch-size="1" lazy="false">
        <key column="COMPANY_ID" not-null="true"/>
        <one-to-many entity-name="vendorName"/>
    </set>
</class>
