I don't know if I made myself clear. I can provide a test case if needed (and continue the discussion in the forum which is probably a more appropriate place I think).
You didn't. I guess you have to rethink what "not null" means again. It means an entity must have a relationship to another entity. So, if A and B have a relationship and B has a "not null" foreign key, then B needs a reference to A. Even if you remove the B from the collection of B's in the A.
This is an FAQ. You need a bidirectional relationship in this case. It's not a "Hibernate requirement", but just natural for your data model.
