Removing associated entity JPA (or delete orphan equivalent in EclipseLink)
eclipselink, glassfish, jpa, merge
Solution
Not in JPA.
In Hibernate this is called "delete orphan". Since you work with EclipseLink, I found something like an equivalent:
`@PrivateOwned` - If you remove the reference to a target from a source, then delete the target.
Problem
I have a question regarding JPA persistence in Glassfish. Situation: I have a Supplier class that has a 1:n bidirectional relation to SupplierAddress. I would like to have the following behaviour: If I remove the SupplierAddress object from the List in the Supplier object and update it via the merge(supplierobject), the SupplierAddress tupel/object should be deleted. Is there an annotation do configure it like this or do I have to delete it manually. Any help would be very appreciated. Greetings Marcel
