Hi,

I have a set of tables, and associations between these tables as seperate tables containing a uni-directional many-to-one. If i have table A and B, and an association table AB, then table AB contains references to A and B, but A and B does not know about the AB table.

The references are mapped in AB as:

<many-to-one name="a"
column="a"
class="A"
/>

and the same for B. My problem occurs upon deleting objects. The way i would like it to work, is that when an entry in A or B is deleted, all entries in AB referencing this entry is deleted as well. I have tried using cascade="delete" on my many-to-one mappings, but this works in the wrong "direction", deleting all referenced objects when deleting an entry in AB.

Is there a way to achieve this without having to include a one-to-many mapping with a corresponding set in the referenced object?

Anyone know if this is possible?
