[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3475) Support not-found="ignore" for <any> mappings

Support not-found="ignore" for <any> mappings --------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3475 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3475 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.0.SP1 Reporter: Felix Gnass Priority: Minor It would be useful if the <any> element would support the not-found="ignore|exception" setting. Due to the nature of any-mappings it's impossible to use on-delete cascades at the database layer, so it's very likely that ObjectNotFoundExceptions occur. Currently the only work-around to gracefully handle such situations seems to be the implementation of a custom EntityNotFoundDelegate that doesn't throw an exception.
