| <p>Use a <span class="bold">One-to-Many Mapping</span> to define a relationship from an attribute to another class, with one-to-many multiplicity to a database column. In the <a href="getting_started006.htm#BABIDCBA">Tutorial Object Model</a>, the <span class="bold">phoneNumbers</span> field of the <span class="bold">Employee</span> class has a one-to-many relationship to the <span class="bold">Phone</span> class; each employee may have many phone numbers.</p> |

| <p>In the <a href="ref_persistence_outline.htm#BABEGGFE">JPA Structure view</a>, select the <span class="bold">phoneNumber</span> field of the <span class="bold">Employee</span> entity. The <a href="ref_persistence_map_view.htm#BABIFBAF">JPA Details view (for attributes)</a> displays the properties for the field.</p> |
