解决办法：

当在集合中需要新增或者删出元素的时候，我们需要修改这个集合而不是重新指定一个新的集合到parent类中：

parent.getChildren().clear();
parent.getChildren().addAll(someNewSetOfChildren);

或者在parent的entity类中：

public void setChildren(Set someNewSetOfChildren) {
 
    //
    // This will override the set that Hibernate is tracking.
    // this.children = someNewSetOfChildren;
 
    this.children.clear();
    this.children.addAll(someNewSetOfChildren);
}
