Dali JPA Entity Gen.

Given the Field Value:

    //bi-directional many-to-one association to Employee
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="employee")
    private Set<Employee> employees;


Generate Additional Methods:
    public Employee addEmployees(Employee employees) {
        getEmployees().add(employees);
        employees.setEmployee(this);
        return employees;
    }

    public Employee removeEmployees(Employee employees) {
        getEmployees().remove(employees);
        employees.setEmployee(null);
        return employees;

    }

How things are derived in the template: 

-Condition: given that the cardinality is one to many and bi-directional.

-Where getEmployees is derived from the AssociationRole Property Name.

-Where Set or List extend Collection: getEmployees: add, remove

-Where the Method Parameter is the AssociationRole.ReferencedTable.ClassName

-Where the method parameter variable get/set method is the AssociationRole.OppositeRole.PropertyName.
