I know that the order has items because after completing the operation I can see the items in the database. This may be the problem...for testing purposes I simply wrapped the session bean with a service and am calling it through NB with just the id populated in the object and no query on the object before the delete. I am going to attempt to do the delete with querying the oject using the id first then delete.

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.
