[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3475) Support not-found="ignore" for <any> mappings

[Felix Gnass (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3475?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31149#action_31149 ] 

Felix Gnass commented on HHH-3475:
----------------------------------

BTW: Even a custom EntityNotFoundDelegate doesn't help as this leads to a NullPointerException somewhere in Hibernate. So this renders any-mappings pretty much useless in most situations.

> It would be useful if the <any> element would support the not-found="ignore|exception" setting. Due to the nature of any-mappings it's impossible to use on-delete cascades at the database layer, so it's very likely that ObjectNotFoundExceptions occur. 
> Currently the only work-around to gracefully handle such situations seems to be the implementation of a custom EntityNotFoundDelegate that doesn't throw an exception.
