Hibernate @ManyToMany Unidirectional and Bidirectional
Hibernate @ManyToMany Unidirectional
The Many-to-Many relationship can be best described by example.
The example we’re going to use is that of the relationship between an Author
and a Book
.
Author
s publish Book
s, and Book
s have Author
s. Any one Author
can publish many Book
s, and any one Book
can be published by many Author
s, so this is why it is a many to many relationship.
Other examples of the many to many relationship are Students to Courses and Employees to Projects.
