Delete of master in master-detail-detail doesn't work

Question

Hi,
JDEV 11g, TP4, ADF BC.
I have implemented a master-detail-detail page where master is a form layout and the both details are af:tables.
On each level there is a delete button (cascading delete).
ActionListener of master =onDeleteHead(). Before deleting the record the user has to confirm this within a dialog
    public void onDeleteHead(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        ExpressionFactory ef = JSFUtils.getFacesContext().getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
        ELContext elCtx = JSFUtils.getFacesContext().getELContext();
        outputTextDlg.setValue(getResourceBundle().getString("DELETE_HEAD_MSG"));
        dialogOkCancel.setDialogListener(ef.createMethodExpression(elCtx, "#{Bob0012.onDialogDeleteHeadOk}", null, new Class[] {DialogEvent.class}));
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(popupDlg); // refresh dialog texts
        JSUtils.showPopup(popupDlg.getId());       
    public void onDialogDeleteHeadOk(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
        if (dialogEvent.getOutcome() == DialogEvent.Outcome.ok) {
            OperationBinding operationBinding = ADFUtils.getManagedBeanOperation("DeleteHead");
            Object result = operationBinding.execute();
            AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(panelHeaderHead);
    }If I press delete button on master record operationBinding.execute(); is executed (confirmed with debugger) and everything seems to be OK.
Even after commit (actionListener="#{bindings.Commit.execute}") the master record including the detail records seems to be deleted.
Problem: No Delete-statement is executed on DB-Level (verified with v$sqlarea) !
If I do the same e.g. on "middle" detail (which is itself a master) the delete works as expected and the corresponding delete statement is executed on DB-level.
Has anyone faced similar problems with master-detail-detail ?
Is this a known bug?
regards
Peter

Hi,
can you perform this operation from the ADF BC tester? This tells you the location of the problem. The Faces code looks okay except that you should use RequestContext instead of AdfFacesContext
Also make sure that the row is deleted by querying for it in the DB.
