[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (ANN-598) Add ON clause to @ForeignKey

Add ON clause to @ForeignKey ---------------------------- Key: ANN-598 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-598 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: New Feature Components: binder Reporter: Christian Bauer More important than it sounds: @org.hibernate.annotations.ForeignKey(name = "FK_FEED_DIRECTORY_ID") I need ON CASCADE DELETE on many of my foreign keys, so I have to do this right now via: <hibernate-mapping> <database-object> <create> alter table FEED drop constraint FK_FEED_DIRECTORY_ID; alter table FEED add constraint FK_FEED_DIRECTORY_ID foreign key (DIRECTORY_ID) references NODE on delete cascade; </create> <drop></drop> </database-object> </hibernate-mapping> This is a bit annoying, especially since @JoinColumn(columnDefinition) is also not an option - I don't want to hardcode my HSQL datatypes. So we should accept a parameter on @ForeignKey (I know that the Hibernate binder doesn't have that notion at all, we need it in native Hibernate as well) that accepts "[ON {DELETE | UPDATE} {CASCADE | SET DEFAULT | SET NULL}];" and does the right thing during schema export. -- 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
