Hi,

I have used an association mapping in one of my hbm.xml.
I have used the cascade=”lock” but the locking mechanism doesnot cascade to associated objects.

Could you let me know if there are any pre requisites for using cascade=”lock”
Or if I need to look into other things.

An example of my mapping is as follows

In Company.hbm.xml

<set name="employees" table="EMPLOYEES" lazy="false" inverse="false" cascade="lock,all-delete-orphan">
<key column="COMPANY_ID"/>
<one-to-many class="com.dao.EmployeeBean"/>
</set>


I lock the company bean by calling:


CompanyBean companyBean = (CompanyBean)
DBService.getInstance().lockData(CompanyBean.class, primaryKey,

LockMode.UPGRADE_NOWAIT);


I would also like to mention that I have a mapping for company in employee mapping

<many-to-one name="company" class="com.dao.CompanyBean " column=" COMPANY_ID " lazy="false"/>
