Hibernate version: 3

Hello,

i tried hibernate and i am very impressed. Nice work.

But during my tests i had one problem.

I have a complex structure of an object which have several (joined-)subclasses and many assoziations.

When i create such an object an i want to save it, then i call


But the assoziations arn't saved automatically.
I have to save them manually by calling the save-Method fpr each assoziation.


Is there a nicer way to do this?
Can Hibernate save the Assoziations by itself?

Sorry, i this topic is discussed elsewhere, but i didn't find it.

Take a look at the cascade property in the manual. It controls if Hibernate automatically checks to see if associated objects need to be saved. You can see it here on the one-to-one mapping.
