Question

Here are my hibernate classes

package com.vaannila.domain;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;


@Entity
@Table(name = "countries")
public class Country {

@Id
@Column(name = "country_id")
@GeneratedValue
private  Integer country_id;


@Column(name = "country_name")
private String country_name;


public Country(Integer country_id , String name ){

    this.country_name = name;
    this.country_id = country_id;

}


/**
 * @param country_id the country_id to set
 */
public void setCountry_id(Integer country_id) {
    this.country_id = country_id;
}
/**
 * @return the country_id
 */
public Integer getCountry_id() {
    return country_id;
}
/**
 * @param country_name the country_name to set
 */
public void setCountry_name(String country_name) {
    this.country_name = country_name;
}
/**
 * @return the country_name
 */
public String getCountry_name() {
    return country_name;
}



}

Person java

package com.vaannila.domain;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;

import javax.validation.constraints.*;

import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.Email;
import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty;




/**
 * A simple POJO representing a Person
 */
@Entity
@Table(name = "PERSON")
public class Person implements Serializable {

 private static final long serialVersionUID = -5527566248002296042L;


 @Id
 @Column(name = "ID")
 @GeneratedValue
 private Integer id;


 @Column(name = "FIRST_NAME")
 private String firstName;

 @Column(name = "LAST_NAME")
 private String lastName;

 @Column(name = "MONEY")
 private Double money;

 @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
 @JoinTable(name = "person_countries", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "person_id") }, 
         inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "country_id") })
 private List<Country> student_countries ; 


 public List<Country> getStudent_countries() {
  return this.student_countries;
    }



 public Integer getId() {
  return id;
 }

 public void setId(Integer id) {
  this.id = id;
 }

 public String getFirstName() {
  return firstName;
 }

 public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
  this.firstName = firstName;
 }

 public String getLastName() {
  return lastName;
 }

 public void setLastName(String lastName) {
  this.lastName = lastName;
 }

 public Double getMoney() {
  return money;
 }

 public void setMoney(Double money) {
  this.money = money;
 }
}

jsp form

<tr><td>Country :</td>
            <td><form:checkboxes path="student_countries" items="${countryList}" itemValue="country_id" itemLabel="country_name" /></td>
    </tr>
    </table>

DAO Logic

 public void add(Person person) {
      logger.debug("Adding new person");

      // Retrieve session from Hibernate
      Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();

      // Save
      session.save(person);
     }

But my countries are not added in the database, all other things go in person table but not in relationship table.

Tested your code, works for me. Make sure your config settings are correct and not overridden.
