Transitive persistence with cascading : CascadeType.NONE ?

Hi,

Am I missing something ? Where is the "@CascadeType.NONE" choice from CascadeType ?

I have an object with a collection I want to fetch on demand (FetchType.LAZY), but I don't want to persist modification to this collection (link table is updated by another application) when saving the parent object.
That's why I need a 'NONE' for the CascadeType.

Any hint ?

Thanks in advance,

Sne.

Check the API: @Cascade takes an array of CascadeType. So all you have to do to get the "CascadeType.NONE" is leave it empty, or not even mention it.

Already tried not to mention any CascadeType at all, and it doesn't worked...

Associations modifications (deletion, in my case) are always persisted, even if I doesn't precise any CascadeType.
That's why I want to precise explicitelly CASCADE NONE.

This is not what cascade is for.

Cascade means that the same action is used on the associated objects - in associated collection it is used on each of the elements - not as the whole collection.
