org.hibernate.ObjectDeletedException: deleted object would be re-saved by cascade …..

You must remove the entity from any parent collection first, then delete.  For example:

entity.getParent().getCollectionOfEntities().remove(entity);

dao.delete(entity);

It would be nice if Hibernate just figured this out, but I don’t think that kind of oversight is coded into the toolset.
