I think you've hooked up the wrong inverses. You don't, for example, want
Child.children's inverse to be children. Apart from anything else, that would
be a many-to-many relationship, which you *don't* want.
Let's try it like this, looking at just entities:
File -files->> File (parent/subnode relationship for the sub-hierarchy
of File objects owning File objects)
Child -children->> Child (parent/subnode relationship for the
sub-hierarchy of Child objects owning Child objects)
File -children->> Child (parent/subnode relationship for the
sub-hierarchy -- one level deep only -- of File objects owning Child objects)
Now let's add the inverses:
File -files->> File
File <-parentFile- File
Child -children->> Child
Child <-parentChild- Child
File -children->> Child
File <-parentFile- Child
(Single headed arrows are 1-1, double headed arrows are 1-many.)
That's 6 relationships, taken in inverse pairs. It's quite straightforward if
you can get the right picture in mind. :)
