Hello,

I'm facing what looks like a a common problem, but can't find the solution (or is it right before my eyes?)
I have many "many-to-many" unidirectional relationship in my application defined as this:


When I delete a '"child" object, none of the collections containing this child is updated, leaving me with corrupted association tables...

I was expecting Hibernate to be able to take care of this, as "he" is supposed to have knowledge of all collections refering to a particular type of object.

Instead I have, to iterate through all my parent objects, and remove manually the removed object from the sets.

Am i missing something ? Is there a way to force Hibernate to look for the associations and clean them ?

Many thanks for your help.
