@ManyToOne relation with not primary key

Hibernate ORM
1

Hi all. I have two entities:

@Entity
@Table(name = "MY_TABLE")
public class MyEntity
@Id
private Long id;
@ManyToOne(fetch = LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "COUN_MNEMONIC", referencedColumnName = "MNEMONIC")
private CountryEntity country;
...


@Entity
@Table(name = "COUNTRIES")
public class CountryEntity
@Id
private Long id;
@Column(name = "MNEMONIC")
private String mnemonic;
...

I have to have column COUN_MNEMONIC in first database table MY_TABLE.

When I try to fill and save entity MyEntity to database:

MyEntity myEntity = new MyEntity();
CountryEntity country = countryService.findByMnemonic(mnemonic); 
myEntity.setCountry(country);

in database table MY_TABLE all fields are saved except MNEMONIC (MNEMONIC = null).
Do you have idea what is wrong in my implementation?
Please help.
Thanks.
