Hi, I have following situation:
Parent table: ID - PK NAME MAIN_CHILD_ID - FK (has FK constraint) and can be null Child table: ID - PK NAME PARENT_ID - FK (has fk constraint) and not null Mapping for this looks like: <class name="test.Parent" table="PARENT"> <id name="id" column="ID"> <generator class="sequence"> <param name="sequence">PARENT_S</param> </generator> </id> <property name="name" column="NAME" type="string"/> <set name="children" inverse="true" lazy="true" outer-join="true" cascade="all-delete-orphan"> <key column="PARENT_ID"/> <one-to-many class="test.Child"/> </set> <many-to-one name="mainChild" class="test.Child" column="MAIN_CHILD_ID" cascade="all"/> </class> class name="test.Child" table="CHILD"> <id name="id" column="ID"> <generator class="sequence"> <param name="sequence">CHILD_S</param> </generator> </id> <property name="name" column="NAME" type="string"/> <many-to-one name="parent" class="test.Parent" column="PARENT_ID" not-null="true"/> </class> For mainChild association I'm using many-to-one and it causes problem because of cascade order. It tries to create mainChild before parent is created. I have tried to use one-to-one which in this case more suitable because mainChild is one-to-one association but in one-to-one there is no column property to specify foreign key to use for association resolution it assumes that primary key is used for that. I saw that hibernate always cascades many-to-one before parent is created. Is there is any way how to custmoize casading order in many-to-one ? or specify foreign key column in one-to-one ? PS: it's possible to workaround this situation by creating Parent first with mainChild null and later create main child and set that to the parent in the same transaction.
