Cascade Deletion

JPA can allows defining the cascade rule where the associated with the entities are also deleted when the parent entity is deleted. This helps in the maintaining the referential integrity and it can simplifying the deletion process of the application.

Query based Deletion

Instead of the retrieving the entity first, We can directly execute the delete query using the JPQL(Java Persistence Query Language) or Criteria API of the JPA application.

Soft Deletion

Instead of the physically removing the records from the database and the entities are marked as the deleted by the updating the flag. This approach can helps in the maintaining the audit trails and it can recovering the deleted data if needed.

This can be done using the JPA queries or EntityManager methods of the application.Mark for Deletion: Once the entity is retrieved it is marked for deletion using the EntityManager’s remove() method of the applicationTransaction Commit: We can ensure the deletion operation is included in the transaction and it can commit the transaction to persist the changes to the database of the application.Verify the Deletion: After committing the transaction we can verify that the entity has been successfully deleted from the database of the application....
