tracker issue : CF-3038294

Problem:

Include support for grouping of properties under one reference.

This is not a request for support in CFC entities but rather, for this work if created in the hbm.xml files (Although direct support in CFC entities would be even better!)

Property grouping is a way to achieve some exotic joins that, although uncommon, could potentially be needed from time to time, especially in cases that you’re dealing with legacy databases in with strange relationships and aren’t allowed to make changes to. That and the idea that... if we can’t configure hibernate as we need in our CFC entities, we should, at least, be able to accomplish what we need in the hbm.xml files. 
Method:

Using the code below in a set of hbm.xml files:

Profile.hbm.xml
<one-to-one name="primaryPhoto" class="cfc:model.Photo" property-ref="primaryReference">
  <formula>’true’</formula>
  <formula>account_id</formula>
</one-to-one>

Photo.hbm.xml
  <properties name="primaryReference">
  <property name="primary" type="boolean" column="photo_primary"/>
  <many-to-one name="profile" class="cfc:model.Profile" column="account_id"/>
</properties>

The expected result for the Profile cfc would be:

Profile
-primaryPhoto
-(other properties)

But the actual result is:

Profile
-primary
-profile
-(other properties)

It appears to be taking all the properties inside the <properties name="primaryReference"> node of the Photo.hbm.xml and just making them properties of the Profile.cfc.
Result:
