Consider the following scenario:

Class A {

int someField;

Set objectsOfTypeB;

}

class B {

int someOtherField;

A objectOfTypeA;
}

Now, suppose i retrieve a object of type A containing NO child objects(i.e. empty set).

Then i update the 'someField' in object A. Also, i add a new object of type B in the set 'objectsOfTypeB'. I then save the object A.

Now, suppose in the onSave() lifecycle method of object B, i issue a VETO. My question is this:

- When i issue the VETO statement, the object B will NOT be saved
- Will the object A be updated in this case? i.e. will the change that i made to 'someField' in object A, be persisted in the database, i mean will Hibernate proceed further to save object A?

Thank you.
