@OneToOne

The best approach to bidirectional @OneToOne is to use @MapsId

Student entity

@Entity

@Data

@Table(name = "students")

public class Student implements Serializable {

    @Id

    @GeneratedValue

    private Integer id;

    private String name;

    private String email;

    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "student", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)

    private StudentDetails studentDetails;

}

StudentDetails entity

@Entity

@Data

@Table(name = "student_details")

public class StudentDetails implements Serializable {

    @Id

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)

    private Integer id;

    private String studentDetailsInfo;

    @OneToOne

    @JoinColumn(name = "student_id")

    @MapsId

    private Student student;

}

@ManyToMany

Many to many relationships can be easily mapped by creating another table using @JoinTable as follows.

Student entity

@Data

@Table(name = "Student")

@Entity

public class Student implements Serializable {

    @Id

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)

    private Integer id;

    private String studentName;

    @ManyToMany

    @JoinTable(

        name = "student_task",

        joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "task_id"),

        inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "student_id")

    )

    private Set<Task> tasks = new HashSet<>();

}

Task entity

@Entity

@Data

@Table(name = "tasks")

public class Task implements Serializable {

    @Id

    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)

    private Integer id;

    private String taskName;

    @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "tasks")

    private Set<Student> students = new HashSet<>();

}
