Re: [eclipselink-users] Related entity in a one-to-many relationship not being updated

Hello Sri,
What do you mean by deactivate, are you removing the old one from the
collection? And can you describe what you mean by save? (ie are you
merging serialized/detached objects, or working with managed objects).
If you are working with detached objects and removing the old approval
from the collection, you will also need to null out the Approval's
registration reference and merge the old approval for the change to be
picked up - merge will only cascade on objects in the collection, so
there is no way to pick up the changes to the now unreferenced old approval.
Best Regards,
Chris
