我正在尝试使用JPA EntityManager（java.persistence.EntityManager）来保留对象。当我调用其子类为null的persist对象时，我收到此错误：
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'record_recordId', table 'AccessPointDev.dbo.ShoppingCartContractInfo'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

有没有办法可以在JPA（或Hibernate）中设置级联选项，这样只有当对象的子节点不为空时它才能级联？
