The Hibernate Doc state:
“Finally, note that cascading of operations can be applied to an
object graph at call time or at flush time. “
Source: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.3/reference/en/html/objectstate.html
Where can this be set? I did not find any options in the for example save() methods.
I would be thankful if someone can point me to the API doc where I can set this programatically.
Cascading is specified in mapping. Here is how you do it with annotations. And here it describes it for XML mapping.
Update:
I think, the statement that you referred to just says that cascading may occur either at call time or at flush time. It does not imply that you can control it during a call.
