@ForeignKey(implicit=true) is currently not supported by OpenJPA.
I have a prototype (uncommitted) that supports it.

What I was asking you about is the following (keeping your mapping as your
original posting):

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
