Yes, remove(order) should cascade the cascade delete relationship and also
remove the order's items (not just the join table).

Is an error occurring, or are the OrderItems just not deleted? Try setting
the log level to finest to see what is occurring.

Also does the order that you are merging have any OrderItems? Or were they
all removed, or not serialized, if it is empty, then they will not be
removed.

A workaround (to whatever is occurring) may be to edit the mapping using a
DescriptorCustomizer and set the order's orderItems mapping
(ManyToManyMapping) to be privateOwned.
