The default value is "save-update, merge".
Available cascades are:
+
save-update - cascade the "add()" operation
(formerly known as save() and update())
+
merge - cascade the "merge()" operation
+
expunge - cascade the "expunge()" operation
+
delete - cascade the "delete()" operation
+
delete-orphan - if an item of the child's type with no parent is detected,

of the child's class from being persisted without a parent
present.
+
refresh-expire - cascade the expire() and refresh() operations

all - shorthand for "save-update,merge, refresh-expire, expunge, delete"
