one 2 many relation, delete one element from collection

[madalin]

Hi,
I have an 1->M bidirectional relationship and I am adding a new element to the collection.If I am removing this new element, do I need to remove it from the collection too? In my tests it seems it is removed automatically, but I just want to be sure.
Thank You

It is remove automatically from all relationships before it it removed from the datastore (it is in the remove protocol from the EJB spec).
