Hibernate @ManyToOne only works with CascadeType.ALL

Question

I am using Hibernate 3.3.1 and i would like to create a relation between persons and an assigned company. They should be loosely coupled, but i would like to arrange to crea

Answer 1

Probably you need to enable Hibernate custom @Cascade when using non-JPA Session.saveOrUpdate() method.
Add @Cascade(org.hibernate.annotations.CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE) or use Session.persist()

Answer 2

i don't feel the mappings are right

class Company
{
@Id
Long companyId;
String name;
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY,mappedBy="company"
@Cascade({CascadeType.SAVE_UPDATE})
List<Person> persons;
}

class Person
{
@Id
Long personId;
String name;
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="company_id")
Company company;
}

Set like this now

Company c=new Company();
List<Person> plist=new ArrayList<>();
Person p=new Person();
p.setCompany(c);
plist.add(p);
c.setPersons(plist);
dao.save(c);
