[Hibernate] Re: Hibernate vs. Castor example

[Dave J. <sno...@nc...>]

I made a number of small changes to get my example
working on HSQL with cascading deletes, then when
I switched back to MySQL cascading deletes worked
there as well!

So yes, cascading deletes work on MySQL.

I'd like my example to be using Hybernate in the
best way possible (under the constraints of DAO),
so if you guys see any other problems in my code
please let me know. I'll post a revised version
once I get more feedback from the Castor folks.

Thanks for your help.
