Hi ,
I have a Person class which contains collection of PersonContact objects
Person{
private Collection<PersonContact> colContact = Collections.emptyList();

public void setColContact(Collection<PersonContact> colContact) {

this.colContact = colContact;
}

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "PRSN_ID")
@org.hibernate.annotations.Cascade(value = org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN)
public Collection<PersonContact> getColContact() {
return colContact;
}
}
Now first am saving a Person in db without any PersonContact obj . Then when I update the Person by adding a PersonContact object ... this.getJpaTemplate().merge(person);
it is throwing

Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: A collection with cascade="all-delete-orphan" was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance: com.qwest.ngs.contacts.common.domain.Person.colContact

Any help is greatly appreciated
