RE: [eclipselink-users] What is the correct wayto remove master-detail r

["Mathias Walter" <mathias.walter@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Lean,

> Why is my characteristic not removed?

Because EclipseLink does not know, if the characteristic object is used by
any other object. In theory, EclipseLink could know this, if the ORM is
complete. But sometimes it is not complete and the object could relate to
any other database object.

Therefore you have to use the PrivateOwned annotation, as Shaun already
posted. That would solve your problem. Keep it a try!
