JPA ManyToMany question link

I have three tables. AvailableOptions and PlanTypeRef with a ManyToMany association table called AvailOptionPlanTypeAssoc. Cropped diagrams look like this:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AvailableOptions](
  [SourceApplication] [char](8) NOT NULL,
  [OptionId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
  ...
)

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AvailOptionPlanTypeAssoc](
  [SourceApplication] [char](8) NOT NULL,
  [OptionId] [int] NOT NULL,
  [PlanTypeCd] [char](2) NOT NULL,
)

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PlanTypeRef](
  [PlanTypeCd] [char](2) NOT NULL,
  [PlanTypeDesc] [varchar](32) NOT NULL,
)

      

        
        
        
      

    

And the Java code looks like this.

//AvailableOption.java
@ManyToMany(cascade={CascadeType.ALL}, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinTable(
  name = "AvailOptionPlanTypeAssoc",
  joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "OptionId"),
                  @JoinColumn(name="SourceApplication")},
  inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="PlanTypeCd"))
List<PlanType> planTypes = new ArrayList<PlanType>();

//PlanType.java
@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(
  name = "AvailOptionPlanTypeAssoc",
  joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "PlanTypeCd")},
  inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="OptionId"),
                      @JoinColumn(name="SourceApplication")})
List<AvailableOption> options = new ArrayList<AvailableOption>();

      

        
        
        
      

    

The problem arises when choosing on AvailableOptions, which it attaches to itself. Take a look at the following SQL code from backtrace. The second inner join must be on PlanTypeRef.

SELECT t0.OptionId, 
  t0.SourceApplication, 
  t2.PlanTypeCd, 
  t2.EffectiveDate, 
  t2.PlanTypeDesc, 
  t2.SysLstTrxDtm, 
  t2.SysLstUpdtUserId, 
  t2.TermDate 
FROM dbo.AvailableOptions t0 
  INNER JOIN dbo.AvailOptionPlanTypeAssoc t1 
    ON t0.OptionId = t1.OptionId AND t0.SourceApplication = t1.SourceApplication 
  INNER JOIN dbo.AvailableOptions t2 
    ON t1.PlanTypeCd = t2.PlanTypeCd 
WHERE (t0.SourceApplication = ? AND t0.OptionType = ?) 
ORDER BY t0.OptionId ASC, t0.SourceApplication ASC 
[params=(String) testApp, (String) junit0]}
