Eu tenho este método:

mymethod(long id){  
    Person p = DAO.findPerson(id);

    Car car = new Car();
    car.setPerson(p);
    p.getCars().add(car);

    DAO.saveOrUpdate(car);
    DAO.saveOrUpdate(p);
    DAO.delete(p.getCars().get(0));//A person have many cars
}  

Mapeamento :

Person.hbm.xml

<!-- one-to-many : [1,1]-> [0,n] -->
<set name="car" table="cars" lazy="true" inverse="true">
    <key column="id_doc" />
    <one-to-many class="Car" />
</set>

<many-to-one name="officialCar"
class="Car" 
column="officialcar_id" lazy="false"/>  

Cars.hbm.xml

<many-to-one name="person" class="Person"
            column="id_person" not-null="true" lazy="false"/>   

Esse método funciona bem para um único thread e, em vários threads, gera um erro:

Transação AOP:

NB: Quando adiciono Thread.sleep (5000) após a atualização, tudo bem. Mas esta solução não está limpa.
