Not necessarily. When you commit the changes, the differences in
object graphs will be propagated (within the same jvm; you can
propagate to external jvms via jms, as well).
So, for example:
Given artist and painting tables, with a one to many from artist to
painting, the following test (asserts are testng style) passes:
ObjectContext oc = DataContext.createDataContext();
Artist a = oc.newObject(Artist.class);
a.setName("blah");
Painting p = oc.newObject(Painting.class);
p.setArtist(a);
p.setTitle("blah painting");
p.setPrice(25.00);
oc.commitChanges();
assertEquals(p.getArtist(),a);
assertEquals(a.getPaintingList().size(),1);
DataContext oc2 = DataContext.createDataContext();
Painting p2 = (Painting) oc2.localObject(p.getObjectId(), p);
oc2.deleteObject(p2);
oc2.commitChanges();
//quick and dirty way to give enough time for the propagation
to take place, b/c this happens in a background thread.
//w/out this, multi-core machines, especially, will tend to
fail b/c we'll reach the assertion before the propagation is finished.
Thread.sleep(10);//containing method throws InterruptedException
assertTrue(a.getPaintingList().isEmpty());
That is, the painting list of artist a, in ObjectContext oc was
updated to reflect the fact that the painting was deleted, even though
the delete occurred in oc2.
There is /some/ minor difference in p and p2: p2 will have a
persistence state of "DELETED" at this point, whereas p will now be
"TRANSIENT". But the object relationships are still properly handled.
Cheers,
Robert
