I tried making the following modification.
I gave Audit this:
Code:
@ManyToMany(cascade={CascadeType.ALL})
private List<Material> materials = new ArrayList<Material>();
And took out all mention of Audit in Material. I don't really need to ever get a list of Audit's by Materials. But my goal is still to be able to associate Audits with Materials and delete an Audit without deleting the Material.
My problem now is I am not sure how to persist Materials to an Audit.
The following resulted in an Audit being persisted by no Materials in the audit_material table (I am running this in a TestCase):
Code:
// materials
Material material1 = new Material();
material1.setName(TEST_MATERIAL_1);
Material material2 = new Material();
material2.setName(TEST_MATERIAL_2);
materialDao.save(material1);
materialDao.save(material2);
materialDao.getHibernateTemplate().flush();
//build a list of materials
List<Material> materials = new ArrayList<Material>();
Material m1 = materialDao.findByName(TEST_MATERIAL_1);
Assert.notNull(m1);
materials.add(m1);
Material m2 = materialDao.findByName(TEST_MATERIAL_2);
Assert.notNull(m2);
materials.add(m2);
//build an audit
Audit audit = new Audit();
audit.setCompany(cLoad);
audit.setAreaName("Test Area");
audit.setCategoryName("Test Category Name");
audit.setAuditClass("Test Audit Class Name");
audit.setAuditDate(new Date());
audit.setMaterials(materials);
auditDao.save(audit);
auditDao.getHibernateTemplate().flush();
I did some searching around and found a few people with similar issues to mine who's posting had not been answered. Either this is so trivial it is left alone or this is a tricky thing to do (which I find hard to believe).
Any tips would be appreciated.
