Persist entity with one-to-many relationship

[Kristofer]

Hi, if I have the following pojos:

@Entity
@Table(name="authors")
public class Author {

	private Integer id;
	private String name;
	private List<Book> bibliography;

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
	public Integer getId() {
		return this.id;
	}

	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	@OneToMany(mappedBy="author", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
	public List<Book> getBibliography() {
		return this.bibliography;
	}

	public void setBibliography(List<Book> bibliography) {
		this.bibliography = bibliography;
	}
}

@Entity
@Table(name="books")
public class Book {

	private Integer id;
	private String title;
	private Author author;

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
	public Integer getId() {
		return this.id;
	}

	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getTitle() {
		return this.title;
	}

	public void setTitle(String title) {
		this.title = title;
	}

	@ManyToOne
	@JoinColumn(name="author_id")
	public Author getAuthor() {
		return this.author;
	}

	public void setAuthor(Author author) {
		this.author = author;
	}
}

How do I go about persisting an Author-class with a collection of books (a bibliography) inside it? I thought that I only had to persist the Author-instance (i.e. session.merge(author)) and the mappings would take care of the Book-instances in the list, but apparently this isn't the case.

Edit: Nvm, I forgot to set the author attribute in the Book-instance. -.-'
