David Roberts commented on Bug HHH-7486

I have also noticed that cascade=ALL is not behaving the same as cascade={PERSIST, MERGE, REMOVE, REFRESH, DETACH}.
We have a many-to-many relationship via an intermediate object and when using CascadeType.ALL I was getting an exception saying that a deleted object would be re-saved by a cascade, but when using cascade={PERSIST, MERGE, REMOVE, REFRESH, DETACH} I would not receive this exception. Now after reading this bug I understand that it's because CascadeType.ALL was re-persisting the child objects.
