Title Body

I'm writing an application where all String properties must be localized, i.e. they must store a different value for every available Locale. A quick solution would be to use a Map, which can be easily mapped in Hibernate but isn't nice on the Java programmer: public class Product { private Map<Locale, String> description; private Map<Locale, String> note; I therefore implemented a LocalString object that can hold different strings for different locales: public class LocalString { private Map<Locale, String> localStrings; The domain object becomes public class Product { private LocalString description; private LocalString note; How do I best map these objects with Hibernate annotations? I think the best mapping would be done using LocalString as a component: @Embeddable public class LocalString { private Map<Locale, String> localStrings; @ElementCollection public Map<Locale, String> getLocalStrings() { return localStrings; } ... @Entity public class Product { private Long id; private LocalString description; private LocalString note; @Embedded public LocalString getDescription() { return description; } All is fine so far: the hbm2ddl ant task creates two tables, a "Products" table and a "Products_localStrings" table which contains key and value columns. Everything breaks when I add the getter for the second property: @Embedded public LocalString getNote() { return note; } The second property doesn't show up in the schema. I tried using the @AttributesOverride tag to define different names for the two columns, but the generated schema is not correct: @Embedded @AttributeOverrides({ @AttributeOverride(name="loca
