Hi,
I'm new to Hibernate+Derby... I've seen this issue mentioned throughout the google, but have not seen a proper resolution.
This following code works fine with mysql, but when I try this on derby i get exceptions:
( each Tag has two sets of files and vise-versa - manytomany)
Tags.java
@Entity
@Table(name="TAGS")
public class Tags implements Serializable 
{
   @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
   public long getId()
   {
      return id;
   }
   @ManyToMany(targetEntity=Files.class
   )
   @ForeignKey(name="USER_TAGS_FILES",inverseName="USER_FILES_TAGS")
   @JoinTable(name="USERTAGS_FILES",
         joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="TAGS_ID"),
         inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="FILES_ID"))
         public Set<data.Files> getUserFiles()
         {
      return userFiles;
         }
   @ManyToMany(mappedBy="autoTags",
         targetEntity=data.Files.class)
         public Set<data.Files> getAutoFiles()
         {
      return autoFiles;
         }
Files.java
@Entity
@Table(name="FILES")
public class Files implements Serializable
{
   @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
   public long getId()
   {
      return id;
   }
      @ManyToMany(mappedBy="userFiles",
         targetEntity=data.Tags.class)
   public Set getUserTags()
   {
      return userTags;
   }
   @ManyToMany(targetEntity=Tags.class
         )
         @ForeignKey(name="AUTO_FILES_TAGS",inverseName="AUTO_TAGS_FILES")
   @JoinTable(name="AUTOTAGS_FILES",
         joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="FILES_ID"),
         inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="TAGS_ID"))
   public Set getAutoTags()
   {
      return autoTags;
   }
I add some data to the DB, but when running over Derby these exception turn up (the don't using mysql)
Exceptions

I have never used derby before so maybe there is something crutal that i'm missing
1) what am I doing wrong? 
2) is there any way of cascading properly when I have 2 many-to-many relationships between two classes?
Thanks!
