I have a class that is the parent to 2 other sets of objects.

In my parent class I use this code to set up the relationship:

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
set ChildOne

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
set ChildTwo

In my SessionBean I get an exception saying child found when I make this call.

em.remove( parent );

My Bean will insert and update correctly( add the children or update their values ) but will not delete.

I know in hiberante they had a cascade=all-delete-orphan value. Is there anything similar to this?

I also tried to another way and got another exception.

1 Get parent to delete
2 Loop thru set of children and delete them one at a time
3 delete parent



Thanks,
