How to remove orphan records?

Question

I am using CascadeType.ALL but when I try to delete a record it just delete the record not its associated records.

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
public List<CartItem> getItems() {
    return items;
}

My tables are

cart
cartitem
cart_cartitem

When I use the following it just remove the record of cart_cartitem not the record of cartitem.

cart.getItems().remove(0);
session.update(cart);

Have you implemented equals and hashcode correctely? Also I believe that you are trying to remove orphans.

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "cart", 
   cascade={javax.persistence.CascadeType.ALL}, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<CartItem> getItems();
