<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>
<ol type="1" start="1">
<li>
<p>Select the <span class="bold">Employee</span> entity in the Package Explorer view.</p>
</li>
<li>
<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>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the <span class="gui-object-title">Map As</span> field, select <span class="gui-object-action">One-to-Many</span>.</p>

<li>
<p>Select <span class="bold">PhoneNumber</span> as the Target Entity. Leave the other fields with their default values.</p>

<p>In the Join Table area, notice that Dali has selected the correct joins, based on the foreign key associations in the database tables.</p>

</ol>
<p>In the JPA Structure, the <span class="bold">phoneNumbers</span> field is identified as a one-to-many mapping as shown in the following figure:</p>
