If you find you have two different use cases, one that makes using the save/update annotation useful, and one that makes it not useful, I'd create a second class, either using inheritance or simply a different class, depending on the complexity of your model. One mapping will omit the cascade annotation, to be used in those cases you don't want it to happen.

You can't. Two workarounds come to my mind:

  • empty the collections before persisting
  • use HQL to insert/update

Neither is a good option though.
