Symfony2 - Doctrine - Entity relationship between 2 bundles - php

Question

I can't figure out how i can have an entity relationship between 2 bundles.
The closest i've been to succeed so far is this:
User Entity:
<?php
namespace Acme\AuthBundle\Entity;
use FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="fos_user")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\generatedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
//...
/**
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Acme\NewsBundle\Entity\Article", mappedBy="author")
*/
protected $articles;
//...
Article Entity:
<?php
namespace Acme\NewsBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* #ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Acme\NewsBundle\Entity\ArticleRepository")
* #ORM\Table(name="articles")
*/
class Article
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
//...
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Acme\AuthBundle\Entity\User", inversedBy="articles")
*/
protected $author;
//...
When generating entities and updating the database, i get no errors and the relation is correctly set in the DB.
But when I try to fetch the articles i get this:
Class Acme\AuthBundle\Entity\Article does not exist
500 Internal Server Error - ReflectionException
Note that the User entity is in AuthBundle and Article entity in NewsBundle.
Thanks.

You need to specify the name of entity class when defining one-to-many, many-to-one relations. Still you are specifying Acme\AuthBundle\Entity\User not Aief\AuthBundle\Entity\User as targetEntity.
The same for Article and Article repository.
