I have an association table (jointable) with users and hotels (this is automatically generated by a doctrine:update command) and with two columns:

user|hotel
a      b
c      b

So, two different users should belong to the same hotel. But if I dump the hotel object with the users associated, the users seem to be assigned to two different hotels.

And If I render the hotels thru a JsonView, I cannot display any user (actually, there's no "users" data in it) in the Json string.

Thank you in advance for any hint!

I have found after many tries the solution (data is the "value"):

'data' => array(
    '_descendAll' => array(
    '_exposeObjectIdentifier' => true,
    '_only' => $this->exposeFields,
    '_descend' => array(
        'users' => array(
            '_descendAll' => array(
                '_exposeObjectIdentifier' => true,
                '_only' => array('__identity')
            ),
        ),
    ),
)
