I have a data model with several many to many relationships where the join table is maintained entirely by Hibernate (i.e., it has not exposed as an object in my object model). Now, I am trying to perform some bulk delete operations using HQL. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to delete the relationships. I don't have an entity to reference in my deletes. Cascades don't work during bulk delete operations. Is there a way to clear out this relationship table using HQL?

Thanks,

Tim Braje
