Hibernate query:Don't delete child when removing association with parent.

Question

I am removing a Child from its association(many to one) to Parent.When i use saveOrUpdate method on Parent, Hibernate by default tries to remove Child from the Table.Is it a bug with hibernate?? How can I avoid this condition???

Answer 1

The behavior you're describing looks like the behavior you'd get when cascading delete-orphan (or any equivalent using annotations). If you are and don't want this behavior, then don't cascade it. If you aren't, please post classes, mappings and a scenario allowing to reproduce.
