JBoss 4.0.4 GA I'm trying to work out a cascade delete issue with an old schema. User Object has a list of Permission Objects. (I can publish more code if u need) When I delete user, hibernate is creating Update statements and trying to set the user_id in permission table to null, what I want is for hibernate to write a delete statement for the permission. I've tried playing around with the mapping and I googled up something about using @SQLDelete to override the sql but this isnt an available annotation from the client lib directory. Not sure where its from. Can someone give me a hint on how I can accomplish this. Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3992797#...
