Hibernate: How to Join three 3 tables in one join table in Annotation?

Can you please help me how to join three tables with one common join table? I have USER, APPLICATION, and ROLE tables. And I want thier IDs to be joined in a table named USER_APP_ROLE(user.ID, application.ID, role.ID).

When I remove either Application or Role tables in Join Many to Many my code is working.

I have done the following codes:

User.java

@ManyToMany (targetEntity=Role.class)
@JoinTable(name="USER_APPLICATION_ROLE",
    joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="USER_ID"),
    inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="ROLE_ID"))

private Collection<Role> roles;

@ManyToMany (targetEntity=Application.class)
@JoinTable(name="USER_APPLICATION_ROLE",
    joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="USER_ID"),
    inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="APPLICATION_ID"))
private Collection<Application> applications;

Role.java

@ManyToMany(mappedBy="roles", targetEntity=User.class)
private Collection<User> users = new ArrayList<User>();

Applicat开发者_高级运维ion.java

@ManyToMany(mappedBy="applications", targetEntity=User.class)
private Collection<User> users = new ArrayList<User>();

When I tried to run the following test:

    user.getRoles().add(role1);
    user.getRoles().add(role2);

    role1.getUsers().add(user);
    role1.getUsers().add(user);

    role2.getUsers().add(user);
    role2.getUsers().add(user);

    user.getApplications().add(app1);
    user.getApplications().add(app2);

    app1.getUsers().add(user);
    app2.getUsers().add(user);
      ......

      session.beginTransaction();
      session.save(user);
      session.save(role1);
      session.save(role2);
      session.save(app1);
      session.save(app2);

I get the following error:

Thank you very much!

The problem is that you have defined a relationship to roles and a separate relationship to applications. There's no declaration that any specific user is a join of both one role and one application.

When you try to associate with a role, the application is null and visa-versa.

Here's an example of mapping a 3-way join between classes A, B and C using JPA. Note, no entity is required for the join table.

@Entity
public class A {

    @JoinTable(name = "a_b_c",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "a_id"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "c_id"))
    @MapKeyJoinColumn(name = "b_id")
    @ElementCollection
    private Map<B, C> cByB = new HashMap<>();

}

@Entity
public class B {
    ...
}

@Entity
public class C {
    ...
}
