Hello,

I have an entity Poll that can contain multiple entities PossibleAnswer. They are mapped by two tables, one with a pk (Poll) the other with a pk and a fk (PossibleAnswer). It is a bidirectional relationship.


Here is the relevant snippet from PossibleAnswer:

[code] @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="idPoll")
private Poll poll;[code]

Here is the relevant snippet from Poll

[code]@OneToMany(mappedBy="poll")
private Collection<PossibleAnswer> possibleAnswers = new ArrayList<PossibleAnswer>();[code]

I then set the Poll on each possible answer
[code]possibleAnswer1.setPoll(poll)[code]

I then add the possible Answers to the collection.
[code]possibleAnswers.add(possibleAnswer1)[code]

I then set the collection to the Poll as follows:
[code]poll.setPossibleAnswers(possibleAnswers)[code]

and finally I persist the poll.

Only the poll entity gets persisted and therefore the transitive persistence does not work.

I use hibernate as jpa provider.

Can anyone please help?

Julien.

Yes you only set the cascade option for one of the directions, not the other. So set the OneToMany mapping to have a cascade option to save it.
