`static CascadeStyle` | `UPDATE` save / update

Method Summary
`abstract boolean` | `doCascade(CascadingAction action)` For this style, should the given action be cascaded?
`static CascadeStyle` | `getCascadeStyle(String cascade)` Factory method for obtaining named cascade styles
`boolean` | `hasOrphanDelete()` Do we need to delete orphaned collection elements?
`boolean` | `reallyDoCascade(CascadingAction action)` Probably more aptly named something like doCascadeToCollectionElements(); it is however used from both the collection and to-one logic branches...

### ALL_DELETE_ORPHAN

    public static final CascadeStyle ALL_DELETE_ORPHAN

  save / delete / update / evict / lock / replicate / merge / persist + delete orphans

### ALL

    public static final CascadeStyle ALL

  save / delete / update / evict / lock / replicate / merge / persist

### UPDATE

    public static final CascadeStyle UPDATE

  save / update

### LOCK

    public static final CascadeStyle LOCK

  lock

### REFRESH

    public static final CascadeStyle REFRESH

  refresh

### EVICT

    public static final CascadeStyle EVICT

  evict

### REPLICATE

    public static final CascadeStyle REPLICATE

  replicate

### MERGE

    public static final CascadeStyle MERGE

  merge

### PERSIST

    public static final CascadeStyle PERSIST

  create

### DELETE

    public static final CascadeStyle DELETE

  delete

### DELETE_ORPHAN

    public static final CascadeStyle DELETE_ORPHAN

  delete + delete orphans

### NONE

  no cascades

Method Detail

### doCascade

    public abstract boolean doCascade(CascadingAction action)

  For this style, should the given action be cascaded?

  Parameters:
    `action` - The action to be checked for cascade-ability.
  Returns:
    True if the action should be cascaded under this style; false otherwise.

### reallyDoCascade

    public boolean reallyDoCascade(CascadingAction action)

  Probably more aptly named something like doCascadeToCollectionElements(); it is however used from both the collection and to-one logic branches...

  For this style, should the given action really be cascaded? The default implementation is simply to return `doCascade(org.hibernate.engine.CascadingAction)`; for certain styles (currently only delete-orphan), however, we need to be able to control this seperately.

  Parameters:
    `action` - The action to be checked for cascade-ability.
  Returns:
    True if the action should be really cascaded under this style; false otherwise.

### hasOrphanDelete

    public boolean hasOrphanDelete()

  Do we need to delete orphaned collection elements?

  Returns:
    True if this style need to account for orphan delete operations; false othwerwise.

### getCascadeStyle

    public static CascadeStyle getCascadeStyle(String cascade)

  Factory method for obtaining named cascade styles

  Parameters:
    `cascade` - The named cascade style name.
  Returns:
    The appropriate CascadeStyle
