Hi all,
I am trying to use logical deletion in my database with hibernate. I am using annotations to apply a certain cascade strategy and I will like to use these annotations for softdelete as well. The problem is that if I use soft delete by adding a new flag true Hibernate does not know that this is my new deletion functionality and therefore does not apply cascading strategy.

Is there a way to make coexist Hibernate annotations with soft delete functionality??
Thanks!

Anyone have a response to this question!???. i can't believe that hibernate does not have a solution to this common problem.. i spend days looking for a solution in google, and there is none natural solution.... i even found one, that says you should subclass every persistible object and put a different discrimiator on each one... PLEASE!!.. this is very important..
