Hibernate Mapping One-to-Many using Annotations Part -1

In this example you will learn how to map one-to-many relationship using Hibernate Annotations. Consider the following relationship between Student and Phone entity.

According to the relationship a student can have any number of phone numbers.

To create this relationship you need to have a STUDENT, PHONE and STUDENT_PHONE table. The relational model is shown below.

To create the STUDENT and PHONE table you need to create the following Java Class files.

Student class is used to create the STUDENT and STUDENT_PHONE table.
