Hi,
The use case you have presented can be supported with some twists. Follow
the steps described below:
Approach A:
1. Remove all phones from Address, but remember them
2. flush() the Address.
3. Database will now assign identity to Address
4. Add the phones back and set each phone's identifier to the newly assigned
identifier of the Address
5. commit

Did you try this?
If yes, what did you see?
