I am trying to delete one object from my project. It is dependent on many other classes. I understand that I need to free that object from all other dependencies. I tried to delete all its dependencies but still I am getting the Foreign key constraint error
Here are my classes
class LabAssistant{
// variables
@OneToMany(cascadeType.All,
orphanRemoval=true,
mappedBy="labAssistant")
private List<LabRecord> labRecords;
//Getters and setters
}
class LabRecord {
//variables
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="labRecord")
private List<Test> tests;
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "lab_id")
private LabAssistant labAssistant;
//Getters and Setters
}
class Test{
@Lob
private byte[] testReport;
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "lab_record_id")
private LabRecord labRecord;
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "test_info_id")
private TestInfo testInfo;
//Getters and setters
}
boolean deleteAssistant(int id){
LabAssistant labAssistant = session.load(LabAssistant.class, id);
for(LabRecord l : labAssistant.getLabRecords()){
for(Test t: l.getTests()){
t.setTestInfo(null);
}
l.getTests().clear();
}
}
labAssistant.getLabRecords().clear();
session.delete(labAssistant);
return true;
}
I am still getting foreign key constraint error
'db'.'tests', Constraint 'fkey' Foreign Key ('lab_record_id') References 'lab_records'('id')
Any help appreciated!!
Somehow recreating the database solved the problem.
