I'm testing JPA, in a simple case File/FileVersions tables (Master/Details), with OneToMany relation, I have this problem: in FileVersions table, the field "file_id" (responsable for the relation with File table) accepts every values, not only values from File table.

How can I use the JPA mapping to limit the input in FileVersion.file_id only for values existing in File.id?

My class are File and FileVersion:

FILE CLASS

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name="FILE_ID")
private Long id;

@Column(name="NAME", nullable = false, length = 30)
private String name;

//RELATIONS -------------------------------------------

@OneToMany(mappedBy="file", fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
private Collection <FileVersion> fileVersionsList;

//-----------------------------------------------------

FILEVERSION CLASS

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name="VERSION_ID")
private Long id;

@Column(name="FILENAME", nullable = false, length = 255)
private String fileName;

@Column(name="NOTES", nullable = false, length = 200)
private String notes;

//RELATIONS -------------------------------------------

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="FILE_ID", referencedColumnName="FILE_ID", nullable=false)
private File file;

//-----------------------------------------------------

and this is the FILEVERSION TABLE

CREATE TABLE  `JPA-Support`.`FILEVERSION` (
`VERSION_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`FILENAME` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`NOTES` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
`FILE_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`VERSION_ID`),
KEY `FK_FILEVERSION_FILE_ID` (`FILE_ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
