[java] What is “the inverse side of the association” in a bidirectional JPA OneToMany/ManyToOne association?

For two Entity Classes Customer and Order , hibernate will create two tables.

Possible Cases:

  1. mappedBy is not used in Customer.java and Order.java Class then->

    At customer side a new table will be created[name = CUSTOMER_ORDER] which will keep mapping of CUSTOMER_ID and ORDER_ID. These are primary keys of Customer and Order Tables. At Order side an additional column is required to save the corresponding Customer_ID record mapping.

  2. mappedBy is used in Customer.java [As given in problem statement] Now additional table[CUSTOMER_ORDER] is not created. Only one column in Order Table

  3. mappedby is used in Order.java Now additional table will be created by hibernate.[name = CUSTOMER_ORDER] Order Table will not have additional column [Customer_ID ] for mapping.

Any Side can be made Owner of the relationship. But its better to choose xxxToOne side.

Coding effect - > Only Owning side of entity can change relationship status. In below example BoyFriend class is owner of the relationship. even if Girlfriend wants to break-up , she can't.
