Delete orphan object problem

[michael yue]

Hi all,

Having problem in delete records in jsf. Is there any way to delete orphan object using jpa with hibernate. Is there a way to declare the cascade all delete orphan in the entity which can be declared in the hibernate mapping file as described below. Or do I need to implement hibernate mapping to achieve this.

'cascade="all" cascades the delete() operation from parent to child. If this is a one-to-many association, try using cascade="all,delete-orphan".'
