在hibernate里面調用session的delete方法以后，無論這個被刪除的對象有沒有被人外鍵引用到，都可以被刪除，并且此時的外鍵設為null，也就是說他會自動幫我們去查看他被誰引用到了。然后把引用全部去掉后，再把自己刪掉。而在JPA里面，如果調用EntityManager.remove方法時，傳進去的對象，有被外鍵引用到，則會失敗。因為JPA里面的實現就是直接執(zhí)行delete語句，也不管他有沒有被外鍵引用，此時，當然會出錯了。
測試時候使用的兩個類分別如下：
舉的例子是部門和員工的關系。一個部門可以有多個員工。然后把部門刪掉的時候，員工的部門屬性就為null了，不過，按照嚴謹來說，還是JPA的嚴謹一些。這樣可以防止誤操作，呵呵。

由于JPA是不需要配置的，代碼里面已經包括了注釋，所以下面附上Hibernate的映射文件，為了使數據庫里面更清楚一些，所以兩者使用的表不是同一張表，JPA的表是帶JPA前綴的，用@Table這個注釋聲明了這一點。

調用JPA的代碼如下：
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("TestSSH1PU2");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
com.hadeslee.jpaentity.Person p = new com.hadeslee.jpaentity.Person();
p.setAge(26);
p.setName("千里冰封");
com.hadeslee.jpaentity.Department dept = em.find(com.hadeslee.jpaentity.Department.class, Long.valueOf("3"));
System.out.println("找到的dept=" + dept);
em.remove(dept);
em.getTransaction().commit();
調用hibernate的代碼如下：
Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
session.getTransaction().begin();
Department dept = (Department) session.load(Department.class, 2);
session.delete(dept);
session.getTransaction().commit();
最后發(fā)現是JPA是不能刪除的，而hibernate這邊的調用可以刪除，一開始我還以為是toplink的實現問題，后來特意把實現改成hibernate的實現，也同樣。所以有可能是JPA的要求必須得這樣做，不能替我們自動完成一些東西，是利于安全。這可能就是標準和流行的差別吧。呵呵。
