Hibernate version: hibernate-3.0.3, hibernate-annotations-3.0beta1

I'm using EJB 3.0 annotations with Hibernate. I have a OneToMany where I think I need to use a delete-orphan cascade type. However, it appears that this cascade type isn't a supported javax.persistence.CascadeType? I'm wondering if this is something that might be added in the future, or, if there is a Hibernate specific way to do this using annotations? I'm wondering if I will need to switch to using XML configuration files to do this.

Hum, check the forum.
Anyway, I've commited something in CVS. It will be provided in the next version

Thanks. Can you tell me if this is something specific to Hibernate, or, is this something that will be added to the EJB spec?

@org.hibernate.annotations.Cascade(CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN) on a method works, but I don't know why it's only available for a method atm.

I fixed the methopd only issue.
This is Hibernate specific atm. It is planed for a future revision of the EJB3 spec.

Does anyone know if it is expected for this to make it into the EJB spec before it is finalized? It would be a shame for this to not be a standard feature of the Java Persistence API.

It's an ugly hack from an object model point of view (well, thats what you have to do if you do pointer chasing instead of relational). I doubt it will every made it into any specification. It will be a common vendor extension though.
