Is there an option to set default cascade values to all?

Hey,

I want that all my entites will have default cascade.PERSIST.

I am working with JPA.

As i understand there is an option to use in the orm.xml file, but it didnt work.

I look on the web and i find in sun that its not supported in this version.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you

It's supposed to work on Hibernate EntityManager, I think I have a test case for it.

I did default-cascade - persist to the orm.file but it didnt work.

I have another annotation on my classe.

What do you mean?
Can you post your code and your orm.xml file?

The orm.xml:

Code:

<entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation= "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm orm_1_0.xsd" version="1.0">
      <persistence-unit-metadata>
         <persistence-unit-defaults>
            <cascade-persist/>
         </persistence-unit-defaults>
      </persistence-unit-metadata>
</entity-mappings>

If i have the following annotation:

Code:

   @OneToOne(cascade = { CascadeType.REFRESH,
         CascadeType.REMOVE })

The default persist is ignored.

Can i have a strategy of default persist without the need to add it any time i have an annotation of persist?

This is a problem because it can cause problem when developer add a remove annotation and the remove annoattion cause to the persist to stop working.

Thank you

That's a very bad idea since it would be fairly inefficient.
