</map>

</union-subclass>

</class>


<query name="app.cobra.get.key.value">from ConfigProperty where Key = ? </query>

</hibernate-mapping>


Please Help me out..

it updates it

Which it is it?

So the database gets updated properly, but the local bean Class 2 is not updated? Or class2 is updated, but the database is not updated?

Perhaps you're actually creating a new class 2, as opposed to actually updating a new instance. As such, the new class2 is updated, but the program holds a reference to the old value?

If this is the case, you may be having a 'pass by reference' type of issue. Check to see if you're using the new keyword anywhere with this second instance. I bet that's it.

Sorry for creating confusion...

As i m new to hibernate i dont know how to talk in terms of class in hibernate.. so will explain again..

i have 2 tables
table config having columns key,context,value

here value
<many-to-one name="value" class="IfcConfigurationValue" column="value"
cascade="all" lazy="false" />


Table ifcConfigurationValue having columns ID,value

where ID is mapped to value..


so when i say saveor update(ConfigProperty) i.e the first Class..

it updates the reference in value column but it doesnot delete the reference in ifcConfigurationValue table..


Please let me know if you want any clarification

Thanks,
Saumil

did you try, cascade="all,delete-orphan"?

[saumil baxi]

cascade="all,delete-orphan" does not work with <many-to-one > ...

cascade option works for many-to-one mapping. Please provide a clear explanation of your parent object, associated child object and what is the problem when you save or update your parent object. You might have explained but it will be nice if you explain clearly.
