Anyway, for GA we will keep the "old" default since it was discovered
too late.<br>
<br>
Then when we do have the ui for controlling the default I would just
have a few options but <br>
let none be the default since it is the less risky one and you can set
the default option in persistence.xml<br>
instead of going set it on every single entity.</div>

<div><br>
It's clearly a programming/architecture style since we all are pushing
our own viewpoints. Thus, I think you should have an option in the UI
for the user to enter whatever default he/she wants. Perhaps check
boxes would be nice.<br>
<br>
I don't really like the idea of setting the defaults in the XML as it
changes the behavior of the application and makes it non-portable (or
harder to connect the dots for someone looking at the annotations).<br>
<br>
So can we agree to disagree and make it a choice for the developer?<br>

I wrote that above didn't I ? :) ALL is kept for now, a choice will be
added going forward.<br>
<br>
btw. no single app in this world will use the same cascade on all
assocations hence setting i.e. ALL is <br>
encouraging a very bad practice ... but for now I can't change it since
the alternative is just as bad because<br>
of backwards compatability.<br>
