Hi,
I'm caught between two problems here...

1. In my mapping i have


This enables me to successfully create a new parent with no children (and not get any errors).

But, as a result of omitting the 'delete-orphan', I am unable to delete a child from a parent using cascading.

So, if I change my mapping to the following:



Then I can successfully delete the child from the parent using cascading.

But, then I am unable to create a new parent with no children, because of the following error: 'no collection snapshot for orphan delete' (see the following page for more info on that bug: http://nhjira.koah.net/browse/NHMA-19).

So, can someone please help me to set up my mapping file up so that i can do BOTH of the above?
These being...
1. create a new parent with no children, and
2. delete a child from a parent using cascading.


Thanks in advance.

Just for some further info...

I can get around this by leaving the mapping as:



which at least allows a new parent to be created with no children.

Then, upon the delete of the child, instead of using cascading, I can just do

and that works fine.

Would this be the suggested work-around? Or, is there a better way of handling the cascading in this instance?

Thanks again
