Thanks for your reply!

here is a simple version of what we are doing.  we are creating all new
objects and then persist them in one transaction by a session bean. 
occasionally A&C got stored without B.  if we re run the process all A, B
and C will be saved.  what might be wrong?

@Entity
public class ClassA {

	//fields definition

	@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy
= "classA")
	private Collection<ClassB> classBs = new HashSet<ClassB>();

	@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy
= "classA)
	private Collection<classC> classCs = new HashSet<ClassC>();
}

@Entity
public class ClassB{

	@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
	@JoinColumn(name = "class_a_id")
	private ClassA classA;
	
	//fields defintions
}

@Entity
public class ClassC{

	@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
	@JoinColumn(name = "class_a_id")
	private ClassA classA;
	
	//fields defintions
}


//by default all the methods in this session bean has required tx attribute
@Stateless
public class SessionBean{

	@PersistenceContext(unitName = "test")
	private EntityManager em;

	public buildA{
		ClassA a = new ClassA();
		
		ClassB b = new ClassB();
		Collection<ClassB> classBs = new ArrayList<ClassB>();
		b.setClassA(a);
		classBs.add(a);
		a.setClassBs(classBs);
		
		ClassC c = new ClassC();
		Collection<ClassC> classCs = new ArrayList<ClassC>();
		c.setClassA(a);
		classCs.add(a);
		a.setClassCs(classCs);
		
		em.persist(a);
	}
}
