I am new to hibernate. I am using version 4.3.8.
An easy question for a seasoned user.

I have record A with two foreign keys to record B.primaryKey and Record C.primaryKey.
The layout of record A looks like this.
A.id
A.foreignKey to B.primaryKey
A.foreignKey to C.primaryKey
A.fieldX


Record B currently exists in the system.

Record C is a new record I want to save when I save record A.

What does the entity class for A look like and how do I get A to save without trying to cascade a save for B?

Thanks for your help.

A is the child entity. Both B and C are its parents.

So, you should never cascade an entity state transaction from a child to a parent because the parent should exist prior to creating the child.

To solve your issue, either you cascade the persist from B to A if you map the relationship on B as well.

Or just issue two persist operations, one for B and one for A.
