Add support for ON DELETE RESTRICT | CASCADE | SET TO NULL for Java entity generation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIBERNATE-74
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/HIBERNATE-74
             Project: Hibernate
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: sstrenn
         Assigned To: Steve Ebersole


It appears that the Java entities that correspond to tables with foreign keys in them always result in a @OneToMany annotation with a cascade type of ALL, even when the foreign key has a constraint of ON DELETE RESTRICT.  This can cause confusion for developers, since, in most other aspects, the Java entities mirror the database behavior.

So this request is to add support for ON DELETE RESTRICT | CASCADE | SET TO NULL for Java entity generation.  As an example of the cascade type for a foreign key that has a ON DELETE RESTRICT constraint, perhaps the annotation would be:  @OneToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.MERGE, CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH}, ...)
