JPA still finds entities after it deleted them

Question

I have a OneToMany relation from A to B (A references a list Bs).

When I delete a B using either entityManager.remove(b) or a.getBs().remove(b)or both, and load A again : the deleted B will still appear in the list THOUGH it has been effectively removed from the database! I tried with and without Cascade.ALL on the relation with no success..

Thanks for your help.

Could you show us your mapping (annotations). – Hauke Ingmar Schmidt Feb 02 '12 at 01:36 — Hauke Ingmar Schmidt, Feb 02 '12 at 01:36

You need to do both (unless you use delete orphans). If you do both it should be gone. Ensure you remove it from the correct managed a, not a detached a. Ensure the a actually contains the b to begin with.

You could always call refresh() to confirm that the database state was correct.

Thanks, I chose the 'delete orphans' solution, it works nicely. – kgautron Feb 19 '12 at 23:08
