Question

I am trying to establish a parent child relationship in a table with the joinColumn as a field which is not the Id (primary key) of the table. If the @onetomany and @manytoone is used with joinColumn as primary key , it works. it does the loading of child objects as expected . But the children are not loaded with the similar code in case of non-primary key is given as the joinColumn value.

Answer 1

there is a referencedColumnName in joinColumn where you can specify a different column than the primary key column
