Hello,

Scenario:
I have a mapped class Foo with a reference to another mapped class Bar.
ie, class Foo has getBar() and setBar()
The cascade on Foo is set to "all".

Question:
If I have an instance of Foo with a reference to an instance of Bar, and then set this reference to null and save the Foo instance, will the Bar instance be deleted from the db or left orphaned in the db?

Thank you,
Evan

yes

What does 'null' mean on an association? It really means deleting the association, as opposed to a hard delete on the associated object.
