Hibernate version:2.1.7b

Mapping documents:
/**
* public access for SL Contact ID
* This method dereferences an instance of SLContact.
* @hibernate.many-to-one column="SL_Contact_ID" unique="true" cascade="all" not-null="true"
* @return The related instance of SLContact.
*/
public SLContact getSLContact() {
return slContact;
}


Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
SLContact c = new SLContact();
SHStakeholder sh = new SHStakeholder();
sh.setSHQuantumNbr("TESTQUANT");
sh.setSLContact(c);
c.setFirstname("Craig");
c.setLastname("Main");
c.setMiddlename("Richard");
c.setAccount("PPS");
c.setSeccodeid("PPS");
Object om = session.save(sh);
session.flush();



Name and version of the database you are using:SQL Server 2000

My problem is simple.
Given a table with two columns.
ID int identifier
SL_CONTACT_ID varchar(20)

I need the child to update before the parent.
I have read chapter 16. This is different, the relationship is uni-directional.
I have searched some of 3000 forum messages on the topic, but have not found a solution.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.
