[13:13:30 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> so I have an xml document that represents an Topic, including all of the Announcement children and am using JAXB to unmarshal that into a Topic object. Passing that to the appropriate service to persist it, everything gets persisted properly except that the key column that binds the Announcement to the Topic (PARENT_ID) remains null.

[13:13:52 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> I thought that being as it is the key column for the mapped set, it would take care of it
