You are a little bit lazy, but nice and relevant. I read the specs and your understanding is perfectly right. So blame SUN, not JBOSS. My opinion is that the spec is unperfect for relationships and many features are ugly. For example, when you get a collection of child entities with a CMR getter, the container first get all the id's, then retreive all the fields with a WHERE clause like that: (ID=?) OR (ID=?) and so on with all the child Id's. You can imagine with 1000 childs.
So, I suggest you a third solution: Do not use relationships. Just get childs with a finder taking the foreign key as parameter, then you can remove them without hurting the database relational integrity. Also, the finder will be faster than the CMR getter.
