JPA Cascade Types

JPA Cascade Types

The cascade types supported by the Java Persistence Architecture are as below:

1. CascadeType.PERSIST : means that save() or persist() operations cascade to related entities.
2. CascadeType.MERGE : means that related entities are merged when the owning entity is merged.
3. CascadeType.REFRESH : does the same thing for the refresh() operation.
4. CascadeType.REMOVE : removes all related entities association with this setting when the owning entity is deleted.
5. CascadeType.DETACH : detaches all related entities if a “manual detach” occurs.
6. CascadeType.ALL : is shorthand for all of the above cascade operations.
