Relation OneToOne cascade="persist, remove" not work - symfony

Question

I have a relationship OneToOne bidirectional, configurate how cascade persis, remove, but when i call controller eliminarPersonaFisicaAction, this show the next error:
An exception occurred while executing 'DELETE FROM entidad WHERE id = ?' with params [84]:
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`xxx`.`personafisica`, CONSTRAINT `FK_D55D20169B1A19BB` FOREIGN KEY (`id_entidad`) REFERENCES `entidad` (`id`))
This is my configure in entities:
First entity:
//code
/**
* #ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity="XXX\EntidadBundle\Entity\PersonaFisica", mappedBy="entidad", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="persona_fisica_id", referencedColumnName="id")
**/
private $personaFisica;
//code
Second entity:
//code
/**
* #ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity="XXX\EntidadBundle\Entity\Entidad", inversedBy="personaFisica", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="id_entidad", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $entidad;
//code
eliminarPersonaFisicaAction:
public function eliminarPersonaFisicaAction($id){
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$personaFisica = $em->getRepository("EntidadBundle:Entidad")->find($id);
if($personaFisica->getPresupuestosEnLosQueEsContacto()->isEmpty() && $personaFisica->getPresupuestos()->isEmpty() && $personaFisica->getDocumentos()->isEmpty() && $personaFisica->getAsignacionesExternas()->isEmpty()){
$em->remove($personaFisica);
}
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('ver_personas_fisicas'));
}

Please note that cascade={"persist", "remove"} only affect the internal Doctrine2 persistence and removal. It has nothing to do with the database.
In order to tell DB to explicitly add 'onDelete' property to the column you should use onDelete="CASCADE"in JoinColumn config.
//code
/**
* #ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity="XXX\EntidadBundle\Entity\PersonaFisica", mappedBy="entidad", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="persona_fisica_id", referencedColumnName="id", onDelete="CASCADE")
**/
private $personaFisica;
//code
You don't need to specify JoinColumn on two tables, it is enough that only one table have extra id field. From what I see in your code you should add JoinColumn to Entidad entity. That will make Entidad entity to be deleted when PersonaFisica is deleted.
