Deleted entity passed to persist exception

Question

I have this kind of entities:

Document | n .. to ..1 | DocumentType | 1 .. to .. n | PropertyType | 1 .. to

Answer 1

I assume you have called remove() on an of type PropertyType before. Call remove() only for the "root" entity, and remove the others with something like:

document.getDocumentType().getPropertyTypes().remove(propertyType);

And retain the DELETE_ORPHAN

You can then, after verifying you haven't manually called remove() on other entities, try calling:

document = entityManager.merge(document);
entityManager.remove(document);

so that the EntityManager reassociates the object with the session first.
