Delete view object with multiple updateable entities

Question

I've created a VO which updates 3 entities, taking care of the posting order by overriding the postChanges(TransactionEvent e) and the create() methods of the entities, and of the VOs RowImpl.
The problem is, the DELETE is not working, I'm getting a database constraint violation (raised like you should delete the row in the EMP table first, and then its parent row in the DEP table).
I've inserted the following in the e.g. EmployeeImpl.java
if (getPostState() == STATUS_DELETED) {
DepImpl parentDep = getDepartments();
if (parentDep != null ) {
parentDep.postChanges(e);
and it's not enough, I'm missing smth obviously.
Can someone help?
Thanks and regards

Shailesh,
thank you for your reply.
I'm back from the holidays and trying to keep up :-)
Guess I had gotten it wrong in the beginning. This is how it looks like now:
* Remove the instance present on associations which are 1:1 relationships,
* (on delete cascade behaviour).
* The default implementation of remove() only removes this instance.
public void remove() {
//Get the Person Id and delete the associated Parties instance first
Number perId = getId().getSequenceNumber();
if (perId != null)
DBTransaction trans = getDBTransaction();
trans.executeCommand("delete from parties where per_id = " + perId);
//delete this instance
super.remove();
best regards
