我在Hibernate参考书的第21章中有一个基本的一对多关系父母/子女。
级联仅从子级到父级（持久级联仅是因为删除子级后我不希望删除父级）。
当我向父级添加一个子级并保存该子级时，我有一个TransientObjectException …

@Entity
public class Parent implements Serializable {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
  private Long id;

  @OneToMany(mappedBy = "parent", orphanRemoval = true)
  private List<Child> childs;

  public List<Child> getChilds() {
    return childs;
  }

  public void setChilds(List<Child> childs) {
    this.childs = childs;
  }

  public void addChild(Child child) {
    if (childs == null) childs = new ArrayList<Child>();
    if (childs.add(child)) child.setParent(this);
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
}

@Entity
public class Child implements Serializable {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
  private Long id;

  @ManyToOne(optional = false)
  @Cascade( { PERSIST, MERGE, REFRESH, SAVE_UPDATE, REPLICATE, LOCK, DETACH })
  private Parent parent;

  public Parent getParent() {
    return parent;
  }

  public void setParent(Parent parent) {
    this.parent = parent;
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
}


@Test
public void test() {
  Parent parent = new Parent();
  Child child = new Child();
  parent.addChild(child);
  genericDao.saveOrUpdate(child);
}

但是在saveOrUpdate上，我有以下异常：

我真的不明白，因为拯救孩子应该通过级联来拯救父母……有什么想法吗？

更新1
该问题似乎与“ orphanRemoval”有关，因为如果我在父级上对其进行评论：

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "parent" /*, orphanRemoval = true */)
private List<Child> childs;

有用！
它保存了孩子，然后是父母。
但是，当我从父级中删除一个孩子时，我真的需要通过级联删除该孤儿。

我创建了一个JIRA问题：http

更新3
似乎是固定的:-)
