Hibernate collection, references, hibernate, yourself

amy

why are you doing deletes through HQL? if you do that you have to control all cascade quot;stuffquot; yourself. you'll be better served if you just remove tag from tag articles collection and then just save tag. you can also check whether your tag now has no references to tag articles and delete it. I would not try and do all this with HQL, not sure why you would even use hibernate if you are doing your operations through HQL?
