How to restrict removal of beans which referenced by others

[3dface]

Hi,

I have two entities with 1:n relationship.

When I delte entity with multiplicity one, relational property of second entity becomes null.

That behavior is not suitable for me, I want to restrict the removal.

I have foreign key in the relative table. When I try to delete a record from the first table directly from the database I receive expected result - restriction.

It seems like JBoss first set relative property to null and then deletes master entity.

What can I do to avoid this?

(Database is MySql 4.0; table types is InnoDB, so foreign keys works fine.)

Thanks.

I have the same problem with Oracle 9i.
I'm using jboss304

It seems that nobody knows the solution.

I found that since 3.2.2RC3 insert-after-ejb-post-create container configuration option is introduced.

It helps me!

<container-configurations>
<container-configuration extends="Standard CMP 2.x EntityBean">
<container-name>Insert after ejbPostCreate</container-name>
<insert-after-ejb-post-create>true</insert-after-ejb-post-create>
</container-configuration>
</container-configurations>

I forgot to say that earlier I have to make cmr field nullable, because it impossible to set relations in ejbCreate method.

But now I can make it NOT NULL, because I can configure container to execute INSERT statement after ejbPostCreate where I can setup relations.

Now cmr-field of the child bean can not be setten to null when I trying to remove parent bean and transaction fails. It is what I need.
