[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - Re: Entity relationship and remove operations

I'm facing a similar problem with child entities not being deleted with their parents. The exception I see is "javax.persistence.EntityNotFoundException: deleted entity passed to persist", and it looks like the entity manager is trying to persist the child entities with null references to the parent. I have CascadeType.ALL set on that relationship. I'd be very disappointed to learn that manual deletion of child entities or database-level cascades were necessary, as the whole point of the JPA cascade functionality is to avoid that. But, I don't have a better answer yet. (BTW, I'm also on jboss 4.0.5 and postgres 8.1; it's bizarre that you're hitting a constraint violation and I'm not even getting that far).
