Hello everybody !

I'm new and I'm here because I'm really out of solution on how to use hibernate for cascade deletion.

First, I've got a CMS-like part in my application.
But cascade deletion don't seem to work for my entities.

I've tried everything I could think of but nothing's working as I want. I tried:

- adding annotation "@org.hibernate.annotations.Cascade({org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.ALL,org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.DELETE_ORPHAN})" after the @OneToMany annotation. From what I have read, it should tell Hibernate to delete child when deleting an entity but I still have some "ConstraintViolationException" coming out of my db connection.

- adding annotation "@OnDelete(action=OnDeleteAction.CASCADE)" after the @OneToMany (and/or @ManyToOne) annotation. To tell hibernate to generate the foreign key with the database option "on delete cascade". But my schema has nothing like that.

- manually delete the child rows before deleting the parent.

And nothing is working.
Has anyone found a solution working to do so ?

Please help me :'(

I just tried this one thing:



But I still get my lovely error:

I think you need to include a cascade attribute in the @OneToMany annotation. At least that is what the documentation recommends: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/ ... ec-cascade
