Halo!

Here is my mapping:

Code:
<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="foo.model.Cat" table="cats">
        <id name="id" access="field">
            <generator class="native" />
        </id>
        <version name="version" access="field" />
        <property name="name" length="512" />
       
        <list name="kittens" batch-size="150" cascade="all" inverse="false" access="field">
            <key column="parent_id"  not-null="true" />
            <list-index column="ordr" />
            <one-to-many class="foo.model.Kitten" />
        </list>
    </class>
   
    <class name="foo.model.Kitten" table="kittens">
        <id name="id" access="field">
            <generator class="native" />
        </id>
        <version name="version" access="field" />
        <property name="name" length="512" />
       
        <many-to-one name="parent" column="parent_id" class="foo.model.Cat" insert="false" update="false" not-null="true" />
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>


The cascade for the indexed collection is "all" and not "all-delete-orphan" because of this issue:

http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2350533

as I was not able to change the parent of a kitten without getting an exception, so I ended up with an "all". When I try to remove a kitten from the underlying collection, hibernate seems to be performing updates to reorder the list of kittens. So for a Cat#1 with Kitten#1, Kitten#2 and Kitten#3, I get this when I try to remove Kitten#2:

Code:
DEBUG (AbstractCollectionPersister.java:1515) - Updating rows of collection: foo.model.Cat.kittens#2
DEBUG (AbstractBatcher.java:366) - about to open PreparedStatement (open PreparedStatements: 0, globally: 0)
DEBUG (AbstractBatcher.java:401) - update kittens set parent_id=?, ordr=? where id=?
TRACE (AbstractBatcher.java:484) - preparing statement
TRACE (NullableType.java:133) - binding '1' to parameter: 1
TRACE (NullableType.java:133) - binding '1' to parameter: 2
TRACE (NullableType.java:133) - binding '3' to parameter: 3
DEBUG (AbstractCollectionPersister.java:1522) - done updating rows: 1 updated


Seems to work fine for this case, but what happens when I try to delete Kitten#3 or the whole collection? The answer is nothing. For these cases, there is no ordering to be updated, so simply nothing happens.
The only workaround I managed to come with is removing the not-null constraints and let hibernate set the parents of the kittens I want to delete to null. I am not happy with that solution though, because it messes up with my database integrity.
Is there a possibility to fix this in an upcoming release? Or fix the "deleted object would be re-saved by cascade" issue that forces me remove the delete-orphan cascade?
Any other solution on this issue?

Thanks,
akz
