Hi Mike,
if i understand correctly i must configure in cayenne datamap xml file the
relation between the two objects, and than declare an attribute in the main
object that contains the "child".
I know that this is the best way ( if i want to model a database the
relations must be declared ) but why with the DataObjectUtils i don't
receive the value?
There is something i do in a wrong way?
Thanks
Davide
P.S. I wrote this code in a wrong way in my previous email :
DataContext...registerNewObject(MainObject);
Obviously the "MainObject" is the isntance and not the class :-)
