JPA Relation or Secondary Table

Question

I am reengineering one of my project with JPA which was initially on iBatis.

public class Entity{
    //ids and other stuff
    String locale;
    String text;
}

I was storing locale and text into separate table, which can be achieved via secondary table in JPA.

• I am not able to create secondary table with its own ids besides Join id?
• how can I achieve it? If possible then it raises the following question:
• how would I retrieve it back if I create an entity object with locale set to user settings

See,

Otherwise include your exact schema and model and issue.
