Hibernate hbm2ddl does not create foreign keys on SQLServer 2008

Question

I am trying to generate foreign keys via hibernate hbm2ddl with:

   hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

And using the following mapping:

   @OneToOne
   @ForeignKey(name="FK_address_nationality_id")
   private Nationality country;

It creates the table, with a country column but no foreign key is created. Why might this be?

Answer 1

Make sure you are using field access type when using field definition annotations rather than properties.

@Entity
@Table
@AccessType("field")

Especially if you are sub classing a class that uses property accessors.
