I new to JPA and learn from http://uaihebert.com/jpa-manytomany-unidirectional-and-bidirectional/
I have created two tables, one is Person and another is Notebook. If not mistaken, person_has_notebook will be created if the code run successfully. (Correct me if I'm wrong as I am new to JPA).
Person

, @NamedQuery(name = "Person.findByCompName", query = "SELECT p FROM Person p WHERE p.compName = :compName")})

I have assigned mappedBy to the weak side, but why still getting such errors ?
