Hi, I have a question regarding the possibility to ignore entities dynamically, based on whether or not they contain data. Let me explain: class Person implements Serializable { private Information info = new Information(); private String name; ... } now I don't want to save the information in case it remains empty, but at the same time I want to make use of the cascading functionality, but at times, Persons don't have information the information object would be empty. I cannot just leave it out, since I work with Seam and info.description for example might be injected, but if that field for example is null, I would like to ignore the info object so that I don't have any null-containing rows in the database. Also the not-null annotation does not help me... Any ideas? Thanks!!! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3958295#...
