Hi,
I have a parent class with multiple child classes.The parent class in my case is consumers and one of its child classes is otheridentifiers. I have defined the cascade=all option for ever child class in the parent class mapping file.
Hibernate generates sql statements for every child class except for otheridentifiers. Other identifiers is the only class with a composite key is that the reason why it is generating only update statements and nto an insert sql statement. Please let me know since I have spent a considerable amount fo time on this issue.

thanks,
Jeevak

The otheridentifiers class is the only child class which has assigned identifiers. The identifier is a composite key. I do an explicit save operation on the consumer class so there is no conflict on whether the operation needed to be performed is save or an update.

Could someone please help me out with this issue?

On defining the unsaved-value="undefined" for ym composite id I get a SAXException error telling me to restrict the choice to any or none. I checked the hibernate mapping.dtd and it has undefined as one of its enumerations.

Please let me know where Img oing wrong.
