Hibernate Bi-Directional List Association
I'm sure there must be thousands of examples demonstrating this association but I can't seem to find one anywhere.
I have a one-many relationship from Parent-Child and a many-one relationship from Child-Parent:
class Parent {
private Long id;
private String name;
private List<Child> children;
}
class Child {
private Long id;
private String name开发者_JAVA百科;
private Parent parent;
}
I'm expecting to end up with 2 tables that look as follows:
Parent
- id : bigint
- name : varchar
Child
- id : bigint
- parent_id : bigint
- sequence : bigint
- name : varchar
Have I got the right idea? If so does anyone know what I need to put in my mapping file so that when a parent is deleted so too are it's children.
Thanks in advance.

Found the solution in the end although I don't understand why I need insert="false"
and update="false"
:
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="foo.Parent" table="Parent">
<id name="id" type="int" column="id">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<property name="name" type="java.lang.String" column="name" length="50" />
<list name="children" cascade="all">
<key column="parent_id" />
<index column="sequence" />
<one-to-many class="foo.Child" />
</list>
</class>
<class name="foo.Child" table="Child">
<id name="id" type="int" column="id">
<generator class="native" />
</id>
<property name="name" type="java.lang.String" column="name" length="50" />
<many-to-one name="parent" class="foo.Parent" column="parent_id" insert="false" update="false" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
