I having trouble finding out what I am doing wrong.

I'm trying to delete an object using session.delete, and it fails because this object is refered by other objects. I catch the exception thrown in commit, and I rollback the transaction.

After that, my app is still running, but anything I do, like an insertion, at commit time hibernate tries again to delete.

Any ideias?

Thanks,
Felipe;

I did some debugging, and realized that the collection deletions inside SessionImpl does not get cleared after rollback, so there is a ScheduledDelete (or something like that) queued there, which is been re-executed. The only method that clears this collections is session.clear().

Immediately close and discard the Session after an exception occured, as documented.
