Hi Erik,
If you add any additional column to a
many-to-many join table it is automatically promoted to
entity and a new class is generated and mapped to it. This is necessary in order to give you access to the
additional attributes in the table.
Unfortunately this means that you have to do one additional hop when traversing the graph as opposed to the normal
many-to-many mapping.
Getting back to you question -
no there is no way to combine the join table and the new entity.
If you need assistance implementing navigation between graph of entities connected that way do not hesitate to contact us.
