Hello everybody

I have a Child with two parents, and if I delete a single parent and the Child is also deleted, yet it remains a parent, so it is not an orphan! it should not be deleted!

my mapping:

[code]
<set name="friends" sort="unsorted" table="lien" lazy="true" cascade="all,delete-orphan">
<key Column="pere"/>
<many-to-many class="test.Node" column="enfants"/>
</ set>
[/ code]

Do not tell me that Sun has not thought about this possibility in removing cascade?

Bye

If i no wrong, u use property in cascade is all and delete-orphan, that's mean u use all property of cascade like save-update and persist too..

and if u delete parent of cource your parent will be deleted and the child too.

Check out the JavaDoc for the CascadeType. It might shed some light on the situation:
