persist() prior to getTransaction().begin() fails when using orphanRemoval = true --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6892 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6892 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.8 Environment: Hibernate 3.6.8.Final Mac OSX Lion JDK 1.6.0_29 H2 and MySQL Reporter: George Armhold Attachments: hibernate-bug.tar.gz I have a Sport entity referencing a @OneToMany list of Players, specifying orphanRemoval = true. The following sequence fails with "Don't change the reference to a collection with cascade=all-delete-orphan": em.persist(sport); em.getTransaction().begin(); em.flush(); em.getTransaction().commit(); while this works just fine: em.getTransaction().begin(); em.persist(sport); em.flush(); em.getTransaction().commit(); I have attached a JUnit testcase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
