I have got two entity pojos
-Contact
-Group
The relation between Contact and Group is that One group can have many contacts
Now to delete the Contact by its id first i load the Contact object for that id
Then i delete that contact object
but while running the application i get the following error
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: deleted object would be re-saved by cascade (remove deleted object from associations): [com.sample.Contact#3]; nested exception is org.hibernate.ObjectDeletedException: deleted object would be re-saved by cascade (remove deleted object from associations):

What does this error actually means and how to solve this problem

Did you find the answer for this one...
I seem to have come across a similar issue as well.......

you forgot to do contact.setGroup(null), ie update both sides of the relationship
