Hi,

I am using Hibernate 3.1 (and annotations 3.1beta7) and wanted Hibernate to create my tables automatically defining the "on update" to cascade (or no action, in some cases) for foreign keys constraints. I searched all over the documentation, but couldn't make it work. It creates the foreign key without specifying the behaviour for "on update", what I would like to happen.

Is it possible in hibernate? How could I do that (with annotations, if possible)?

Thank you very much,

Rodrigo

Not all operations are able to cascade, so cascade has to be set in a per-property basis. I don't use annotations, but if you edit your .hbm.xml files, you can set the property cascade="update" for the collection mappings.

You can read the Hibernate online docs for more in-depth explanation.

Bye.

Thanks, Hector. I actually defined as follows, which should be equivalent to cascade="save-update":

@ManyToOne

@Cascade(value={CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE})

@JoinColumn(name="TAKER",nullable=false)


Defining the cascade when a save or update happens, but still it doesn't create the foreign key for that as "on update cascade".
