title: Owning Side vs Non-Owning Side In hibernate and its usage in reference of mapped by element?
body: <p>I came across the terms i.e <code>owning side and non-owning</code> side while studying hibernate.For example :- here is
  the statement regarding usage  of mappedby element in terms of its usage in one to one mapping </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If the relationship is bidirectional, the non-owning side must use the
    <code>mappedBy</code> element of the <code>OneToOne</code> annotation
    to specify the relationship field or property of the owning side.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But i did not get what actually <code>owning side and non-owning</code> side is?</p>
