[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (EJBTHREE-960) CascadeType REMOVE in relationships doesn't appear to cascade anymore.

CascadeType REMOVE in relationships doesn't appear to cascade anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-960 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-960 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Environment: Windows XP, JBoss AS 4.0.5.GA Reporter: Fritz Feuerbacher Since I upgraded from JBoss 4.0.4.GA to 4.0.5.GA I have encountered this problem. Whenever I have an entity bean that has a relation in it I get strange behavior that I didn't have in 4.0.4.GA. Examples: Say I have an entity bean with a relation in it like: @OneToMany (mappedBy="user", cascade={cascadeType.ALL}), fetch=fetchType.EAGER) public List<UserAndRole> getUserAndRoles() { return userAndRoles; } This works fine, and will cascade in all instances except if I take an existing bean and set the list to an empty list like: userAndRoles = new ArrayList<UserAndRole>(); and then call merge on the entity bean. It appears to remove the relationship in the the bean, however, the old entries in the table are still there. In JBoss 4.0.4.GA, doing this would also remove the entries in the UserAndRoles table that corresponded to the items that were in the original userAndRoles list. Definately something has changed between the versions. I just can't figure out what.
