If I delete a record from the Parent table I want the corresponding records in the child table to be deleted. How can I make Hibernate delete from the Child table rather than attempt to update with a null?
I’m using Hibernate 3 but cannot use annotations at this time. I’ve attached copies of HBM, DAO etc below. — Thank you in Advance
When attempting to delete data from tables in Parent/Child relationship I get the following error:
Testcase: testDelete(com.dressbarn.imbo.model.data.hibernate.dao.CharityTransferDAOTest): Caused an ERROR

public class CharityTransferDAO extends HibernateDaoSupport implements ICharityTransfer {
public void delete(CharityTransfer charityTransfer) throws IMADataException {
try {
getSessionFactory()
.getCurrentSession()
.delete(charityTransfer);
}
catch (HibernateException e) {
throw new IMADataException("failed to delete charity shipping information", e);
}
}
I encountered this error all the time.
Just put an inverse=”true” on the relationship and your problem will go away!
Basically the inverse will tell hibernate the child cannot exist without a parent, thereby causing hibernate to delete the child.
Having said that, you’ll also need to remove the charityTransfer object from the collection in the parent as well.
