Re: [eclipselink-users] [MOXy] setting bi-directional references during

["polly.c.chang" <polly.c.chang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

We use Composite mappings on many-to-many bidirectional associations also. 
We do not use the Reference mappings at all.  Would it be possible to have a
future version of Eclipse 1.2 or 2.0 to support setting the back-reference
on many-to-many Composite mappings?

Thanks for testing and letting me know that EclipseLink can use private
accessors for OXM!  

Thanks,
Polly
