    I am working on the nested DC feature. I started by creating a demo
    application with Click front-end. What I discovered though is that
    since Click provides another layer of objects (UI stateful widgets)
    in front of Cayenne-based model, I can't come up with a scenario
    where a nested context is needed (as opposed to say a peer context)!

    The need for it was clear in WebObjects when object state was
    dynamically bound to the page, so you'd have to prepare your object
    model on GET without any guarantee that the matching POST would happen.

    But if you use frameworks like Click (and actually Struts, with
    ActionBean playing the "front row buffer" role), where does it fit here?

    I am probably just having a bad day, as I am sure there were a few
    important scenarios that I am missing now.
