Hi,

I have a 1:N association. For example a

customer class 1
and
order class N

and the order have also childs
order class 1
and
adress class N


in hibernate this is realized with a collections. Ok, how can I change the parent of the class order to another customer. When I use remove and use
"all-delete-orphan" ,hibernate removes me the order and his adresses.

How is the best method to change the parent of an child entity?

thx

Simply do not use all-delete-orphan. You're telling hibernate that your order lifecycle is bound to its parent. If your objects are not bound and should be able to live without each others, use a more reduced cascade options set. Even maybe nothing (equivalent to cascade="none", in fact) would be ok for you.
