Hello,

I have a problem with I use SaveorUdapte of an entity with a one to many association to an other entity.

Entity A (Car) : Volvo, Red,...

Enitty B (Wheel)
- Wheel 1 : Sport
- Wheel 2 : Sport
- Wheel 3 : Sport
- Wheel 4 : Sport
- Wheel 5 : Sport

This records is in my database. I would like to modify the entity A and delete Wheel 5.

I use SaveOrdate in this new entity. But Hibernate delete only the reference to the Wheel 5 and not delete this records

<set name="wheel" lazy="false" inverse="false" cascade="all" sort="unsorted" >
<key column="id_car" >
</key>
<one-to-many class="com.wheel" />
</set>

Thks for your Help

Why should it delete the other entity? You only dereferenced it from the collection, that doesn't mean it has to be deleted. It could be referenced by another entity. You have to explicitely delete() it after taking it out of the collection. (Read the documentation or HiA again and try to think about "entity" and "value type".)

You are probably looking for cascade="all-delete-orhpan", but you should only use this shortcut if you understand object lifecycle and sahred references completely.
