我们可以使用set，bag，map等来映射多对多关系。在这里，我们将使用map来进行多对多映射。 在这种情况下，将创建三个表。
多对多映射示例
我们需要创建以下文件来映射map元素。首先创建一个项目：ternaryobject，它们分别如下 -
- Question.java
- User.java
- question.hbm.xml
- user.hbm.xml
- hibernate.cfg.xml
- MainTest.java
- FetchTest.java
项目：ternaryobject的目录结构如下图所示 -
下面我们看看每个文件的代码。
文件：Question.java
package com.yiibai;
import java.util.Map;
public class Question {
private int id;
private String name;
private Map<String, User> answers;
public Question() {
}
public Question(String name, Map<String, User> answers) {
super();
this.name = name;
this.answers = answers;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Map<String, User> getAnswers() {
return answers;
}
public void setAnswers(Map<String, User> answers) {
this.answers = answers;
}
}
文件：User.java
package com.yiibai;
public class User {
private int id;
private String username, email, country;
public User() {
}
public User(String username, String email, String country) {
super();
this.username = username;
this.email = email;
this.country = country;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public String getCountry() {
return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
this.country = country;
}
}
