Hi all,

I've been trying to map following scenario with no luck:



When any of A, B or C is deleted should ABC be also deleted, but A,B and C should not be deleted (except for the one that was meant to be deleted, of course). I'd prefer to have a map in A (key b, value list of C's) as it'd fit best for my domain model, but I haven't been able to get cascading work for the key.

What I'd like to know is what would be recommended practice for mapping this kind of relationships and if one could get cascading work for the key of the map also. I'm sorry I can't share my actual mapping or code, but if it's needed I could post modified versions of them.

Hibernate does not support cascades for collection indexes (its not at all hard to implement, incidently .... it just never seemed that useful).

Ok, thanks for the answer (and for the great product!).

Are there any plans to support cascading also for the indexes in the future..?

you can always request it - and if other people vote for it, probably someone will get round to it
