Recursive CMR problem in J2EE RI 1.3.1

Question

I have to create Category EJB in my project. Which is recursive object because it may be root category or branch category.
In my Bean Class, I declared:
// CMP Fields
//CMR Fields
public abstract Collection getSubCategories();
public abstract void setSubCategories(Collection categories);
And in deployment descriptor, I declare recursive relationship for this bean:
<ejb-relation>
<ejb-relation-name>Category-Category</ejb-relation-name>
<ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role-name>Category</ejb-relationship-role-name>
<multiplicity>One</multiplicity>
<relationship-role-source>
<ejb-name>Category</ejb-name>
</relationship-role-source>
<cmr-field>
<cmr-field-name>subCategories</cmr-field-name>
<cmr-field-type>java.util.Collection</cmr-field-type>
</cmr-field>
</ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role>
<ejb-relationship-role-name>Category_2</ejb-relationship-role-name>
<multiplicity>Many</multiplicity>
<cascade-delete/>
<relationship-role-source>
<ejb-name>Category</ejb-name>
</relationship-role-source>
</ejb-relationship-role>
</ejb-relation>
At my knowledge, the container has to create relationship table corresponding to this relationship. This table has two columns, which are stored PK of parent and its children. But in my deploytool, it has only one column. What is happen? Any one help me, please..:(

Hi,
I have been trying to solve the very same problem for some time, could you let me know the answer to this. If you are feeling extremely generous, could you post/email the source code for the category EJB to me.
I would be eternally grateful
