What are the types of cascade supported by JPA?

Answer

Following is the list of cascade type: -

• PERSIST: In this cascade operation, if the parent entity is persisted then all its related entity will also be persisted.
• MERGE: In this cascade operation, if the parent entity is merged, then all its related entity will also be merged.
• DETACH: In this cascade operation, if the parent entity is detached, then all its related entity will also be detached.
• REFRESH: In this cascade operation, if the parent entity is refreshed, then all its related entity will also be refreshed.
• REMOVE: In this cascade operation, if the parent entity is removed, then all its related entity will also be removed.
• ALL In this case, all the above cascade operations can be applied to the entities related to the parent entity.
