File attachment using Adf faces, EJB3 and Oracle XE database Part I

Usecase:

I want to associate files with employees (PERSON). I will have employees(PERSON) with their associated files which will hold the more information for that employees (PERSON) like (employee’s picture, list of his dependant, his Resume etc)

My ERD will have PERSON and ATTACHMENT tables, and a join table between PERSON and ATTACHMENT that is PERSON_ATTACHMENT.

The relation between PERSON AND ATTACHMENT is ONE TO MANY, A single employee (PERSON) can have many attachments.

PERSON_ATTACHMENT table
 

PERSON_ATTACHMENT table, make composite primary key
