@Entity
@Table(name="FOO")
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "bar")
    private List<FooBar> bars;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;
    
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "foo")
    private List<FooBar> foos;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO_BAR")
public class FooBar {
    private UUID fooBarId;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "fooId")
    private Foo foo;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "barId")
    private Bar bar;

    //You can store other objects/fields on this table here.
}

Specifies a two-way relationship between many Foo objects to many Bar objects using an intermediate join table that the user manages.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR. The relationships between Foo and Bar objects are stored in a table called FOO_BAR. There is a FooBar object as part of the application.

Commonly used when you want to store extra information on the join object such as the date the relationship was created.

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO")
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToMany
    @JoinTable(name="FOO_BAR",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="fooId"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="barId"))
    private List<Bar> bars;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;
    
    @OneToMany
    @JoinTable(name="FOO_BAR",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="barId"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="fooId"))
    private List<Foo> foos;
}

Specifies a relationship between many Foo objects to many Bar objects using an intermediate join table that Hibernate manages.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR. The relationships between Foo and Bar objects are stored in a table called FOO_BAR. However this implies that there is no FooBar object as part of the application.

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO") 
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "bar")
    private List<Bar> bars;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;
    
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "fooId")
    private Foo foo;
}

Specifies a two-way relationship between one Foo object to many Bar objects using a foreign key.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR. The foreign key is stored on the BAR table in a column called fooId.

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO")    
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JoinColumn(name = "barId")
    private Bar bar;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;
    
    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "bar")
    private Foo foo;
}

Specifies a two-way relationship between one Foo object to one Bar object using a foreign key.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR. The foreign key is stored on the FOO table in a column called barId.

Note that the mappedBy value is the field name on the object, not the column name.

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO")
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToMany
    @JoinTable(name="FOO_BAR",
        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="fooId"),
        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="barId", unique=true))
    private List<Bar> bars;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;

    //No Mapping specified here.
}

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO_BAR")
public class FooBar {
    private UUID fooBarId;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "fooId")
    private Foo foo;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "barId", unique = true)
    private Bar bar;

    //You can store other objects/fields on this table here.
}

Specifies a one-way relationship between one Foo object to many Bar objects using an intermediate join table that the user manages.

This is similar to a ManyToMany relationship, but if you add a unique constraint to the target foreign key you can enforce that it is OneToMany.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR. The relationships between Foo and Bar objects are stored in a table called FOO_BAR. There is a FooBar object as part of the application.

Notice that there is no mapping of Bar objects back to Foo objects. Bar objects can be manipulated freely without affecting Foo objects.

Very commonly used with Spring Security when setting up a User object who has a list of Role's that they can perform. You can add and remove roles to a user without having to worry about cascades deleting Role's.

@Entity
@Table(name="FOO")
public class Foo {
    private UUID fooId;
    
    @OneToOne
    private Bar bar;
}

@Entity
@Table(name="BAR")
public class Bar {
    private UUID barId;
    //No corresponding mapping to Foo.class
}

Specifies a one-way relationship between one Foo object to one Bar object.

The Foo objects are stored as rows in a table called FOO. The Bar objects are stored as rows in a table called BAR.

Notice that there is no mapping of Bar objects back to Foo objects. Bar objects can be manipulated freely without affecting Foo objects.
