Spring Data JPA Hibernate Many to Many cascade delete

Question

using Spring Boot 1.4.0 and MySql 5.7

I have two table and it's unidirectional @ManyToMany, but the parent-side in the Role, i want delete the Permission hibernate will automatic delete it self and the link-table record:

• Permission

  @Entity
  public class Permission {
      @Id
      @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
      private Long id;
  
      @Column(unique = true)
      private String name;
  
      //...Getter and Setter
  }
  

• Role

  @Entity
  public class Role {
      @Id
      @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
      private Long id;
  
      @Column(unique = true)
      private String name;
  
      @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
      private final Collection<Permission> allowedPermissions = new ArrayList<>();
  
      //...Getter and Setter
  }
  

But when try delete the Permission record. the ERROR tell me "Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails".

I set the cascade = CascadeType.ALL in Role.

How to fix it?

I wanna when delete the Permission, the link-table will remove all link of the Permission.

Answer 1

You're getting this exception because you're trying to delete a Permission record on the Permission table, but you have not deleted before that the matching record on the join table.

So, let's say on Permission table you have a record with the primary key of 203, you need to delete a record with a forgien key of 203 on the join table.

By the way, where is your @JoinTable annotation? I can't see it in your code.

The solution to that problem is just making Permission to be the owning entity (with unidirectional association you can choose which entity will be the owning entity).

Which means on Permission you'll need to use the:

@ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)

the CascadeType.ALL (CascadeType.ALL includes CascadeType.REMOVE) will take care of deleting all matching records on join table before deleting the record from owning entity.
