@OneToMany

In a normalized database, the List will correspond to a set of rows
from a related table.

It's a little unusual to have a table with only a single String
column, though. Usually there's a somewhat more complex structure.
What is the corresponding table structure?

That's not a table structure.

What's the corresponding table structure?

JPA is all about object-to-relational mapping (ORM). You haven't told
us the relational structure.

Sorry, I realize that I did not understand your question.
There is no a pre-existing table structure.

My problem is not the mapping a new object model to an existing table
structure. I need only persist a given object model.

So design a table structure.
