spring - Cascading not saving the reference table data -

cascading not saving details

orders table

create table orders (   order_id numeric(10,0) not null,   test_id numeric(5,0),   constraint orders_pkey primary key (order_id),   constraint fk_order_user_doneby foreign key (done_by)       references user_mast (user_id) match simple       on update no action on delete no action } 

reference table

create table refout_order_hdr (   ref_inst_id numeric(8,0),   status character varying(1),   ref_out_id numeric(10,0) not null,   order_id numeric(10,0),   constraint "refout_order_pkey primary key (ref_out_id)" primary key (ref_out_id),   constraint "ref_out_fkey_order_id order_id)" foreign key (order_id)       references orders (order_id) match simple       on update no action on delete no action ) 

there 1 many relation between orders & refrence(order_id)

entity class reference

 /**   *    */  private static final long serialversionuid = 1l;  private long refoutid;  private cdcinstitutes instmast;  private string status;  @jsonignore  private orders orders;    //------other getters , setters there -------------//  @manytoone(fetch = fetchtype.lazy) @joincolumn(name="order_id") public orders getorders() {     return orders; }  public void setorders(orders orders) {     this.orders = orders;   //------other getters , setters there -------------// 

entity class orders

private long orderid; private testmast testmast; private set<refoutorder> refoutorder;    @onetomany(mappedby="orders", fetch=fetchtype.lazy, cascade = {cascadetype.merge, cascadetype.persist } ) public set<refoutorder> getrefoutorder() {     return refoutorder; }  public void setrefoutorder(set<refoutorder> refoutorder) {     this.refoutorder = refoutorder; } 

even though cascading set while saving orders entity, reference table orderid not saving. other fields set.
