Hibernate tutorial association many to many mapping using xml

Many to Many Mapping XML based

A unidirectional Many-to-many association mappings need 3 tables, the intermediate table contains primary key of both the entity. But Many to Many is not recommended since most of the use case the intermediate need to maintain some extra data like createdby etc..

<set name="courses" table="SCOURSE" cascade="all">
			<key column="SID" />
			<many-to-many column="CID" class="com.candidjava.hibernate.Course" />
		</set>
