Hibernate one-to-many relationship together with Oracle integrity referential ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6324 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6324 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Environment: JBoss 6.0 standard community edition. Eclipese Helios. Hibernate 3.6.0. Reporter: lorenzo pergolini Attachments: model.PNG We defined a one to many relationship between two tables: Role and RoleAccount. We managed the integrity referential directly on Oracle. Our need is to delete one or more RoleAccount related to a Role, but we also need to keep an Oracle integrity referential when we try to delete a Role that has at least a RoleAccount linked. So what we expect from Hibernate is that there would exist a cascade option, besides delete and delete-orphan, that when trying to delete a Role that has at least a RoleAccount, it doesn't delete first the orphans and then the parents, but the opposite so to raise an integrity referential exception. Instead if we use delete-orphan option, Hibernate first deletes all the orphan children(RoleAccounts) and then delete the parent(Role), without raising any Oracle integrity referential exception. We know that this can be done by removing the delete option from cascade (cascade="save-update"), but then we manually have to delete RoleAccounts. Below I attached part of the mappings and integrity referential sql script: <!----------------Role --------------> <bag name="roleFunctions" table="`AdmRoleFunction`" inverse="true" fetch="select" cascade="save-update"> <key> <column name="`admRoleId`" not-null="true" /> </key> <one-to-many class="it.apra.logistic.model.admin.RoleFunction" /> </bag> <!----------------RoleAccounts --------------> <bag name="roleAccounts" table="`AdmRoleAccount`" inverse="false" fetch="select" cascade="save-update,delete"> <key> <column name="`admRoleId`" not-null="true" /> </key> <one-to-many class="it.apra.logistic.model.admin.RoleAccount" /> </bag> <!------Integrity referential Sql--------------> ALTER TABLE "AdmRoleAccount" ADD CONSTRAINT "FkAdmRole2" FOREIGN KEY ("admRoleId") REFERENCES "AdmRole" ("id") / ALTER TABLE "AdmRoleAccount" ADD CONSTRAINT "FkAdmAccount2" FOREIGN KEY ("admAccountId") REFERENCES "AdmAccount" ("id") ON DELETE CASCADE / -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
