Hello!!

I'm using Hibernate 3 with annotations and I use it with Spring's Hibernate Template.

Here are two classes I use:

public class Car{
...
}

public class Driver{
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="driver")
@Cascade(value=CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN)
@JoinColumn(name = "driver_id")
protected List<Car> cars;
}

Well, I've omitted some code, that doesn't have to do with my problem (as far as I can see).

When I remove some cars from a driver I've got no problems. But when I remove ALL OF THEM and the driver has no car, Hibernate doesn't delete them at all. They're there in the DB. If later I add one or more cars to this driver, the previously remove cars get deleted from the database.

It seems DELETE_ORPHAN it only works when I don't remove ALL the cars. It works well as long as I leave at least one. Did anybody know this issue? Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you very much!

Wrong forum! No JPA questions here. Try the main Hibernate user Forum.

Sorry. I've created once again in the Hibernate Users forum. I didn't notice this wasn't the good one. How can I delete my topic?

Thanks.
