Hi List,
I came across an interesting behaviour today with awakeFromInsertion()
that i did not expect and I hope someone could shed some light.
What happens is that awakeFromInsertion() is not only called when the EO
is "created" but also when reverting the editing context after having
deleted an EO (which hasn't yet been saved). That is, if you delete an
EO and revert() instead of saveChanges(), that EO's awakeFromInsertion()
method is called again.
The documentation states:
"Overridden by subclasses to perform additional initialization on the
receiver upon its being inserted into ec. This is commonly used to
assign default values or record the time of insertion. ...."
I originally took this to mean that it is only called when the EO is
_created_. Technically speaking, the documentation states that it is
called when the EO is _inserted_ into the editing context which does not
necessarily mean when the EO is _created_.
Does this mean that I need to go through all my EO's that use this
method for some initialisation and take this scenario into account or is
this a bug with WO?
I am using WO 5.2.4.
Thanks
