Yes, I had wondered about that myself. The foreign key is a product
of the GUI as when you create a new relationship, there is no way
(that I could find) to specify initially that you want it to
propagate the primary key, so its created initially whenever you
create a new relationship. Then, when you specify later to "propagate
primary key" from the relationship editor, the foreign key remains, so
I thought perhaps is kept there, but entryScoreID is always equated
with its own ID in the implementation. Should/could perhaps the GUI
auto-delete the foreign key when "propagate primary key" is selected?
Would at least help DB neophytes like myself.
Also, I really don't care to get back to Entry from EntryScore, and
anyway, if an entry's key is being propagated to its related
entryScore, shouldn't you be able to get back to the entry from the
entryScore by just using entryScore's ID (since it's the associated
entry's ID too)?
Anyway, I'll try removing the foreign key and see what happens. I
thought I had actually tried it before and got some other error, but
I'll give it another shot.
And thanks for the GREAT discussion, I've already gotten answers to a
lot of lingering questions I had in my head.

Why do you have the attribute "entryScoreID" in the Entry entity? If
you make a to-one relationship Entry->EntryScore and propagate the
PK you only need an FK attribute in EntryScore that gets set to the
PK of Entry by EOF.
In your exception it is complaining about the entryScoreID from
Entry _not_ from EntryScore.

You're exactly right, that relationship is an owns destination
relationship. I changed the code to set the properties on the
existing entryScore instead of creating a new one:
EOQualifier poolQual = Pool.NAME.eq(name);
pool = Pool.fetchRequiredPool(ec, poolQual);
entry = Entry.createEntry(ec, "DEFAULT", "pw", true, false, new
Integer(0), "", false, false, false, new Integer(0), pool, user);
entry.entryScore().setNumSecs(0);
entry.entryScore().setNumThirds(0);
entry.entryScore().setNumWins(0);
entry.entryScore().setPlace(0);
entry.entryScore().setPoints(0);
entry.entryScore().setPotential(0);
ec.saveChanges();
but now I'm getting a different validation error. There's
probably still something I don't have setup right for using the
"propagates primary key" and "owns destination" options for this
relationship, but I'm not sure what it is. It's interesting that
the below INSERT passes in a NULL value for the entryScoreID. If
it automatically creates its own entryScore object, shouldn't it
be sending in the ID of that object instead of NULL?
Well, uh, how do you have it set? Do you have any foreign key
exposed as a class property? If so, don't! You can make the PK a
class property (not saying this a good idea, just that it won't
cause errors), but exposing an FK will cause this sort of error.

Hi Jeff,
what is your entryScore relationship like? Do you have "owns
destination" checked? If yes then by creating an Entry object
EOF does create an EntryScore object for you automatically. So
when you save changes that object is still in the editing
context but no attributes have been set and thus throwing
NullPropertyExceptions for every attribute that does not allow
Null.

Hello,
I can't get past NullPropertyException's when I try to save
changes to my editing context. I have an object, pool, that I
add an entry to with the Entry.createEntry operation. Then, in
turn, I add an EntryScore obejct to the entry object. Note
that the entryScore relationship in Entry (the one causing the
problems) is set to "propagate primary key". I have tried
making it both mandatory and optional with the same results.
Any ideas what may be causing this?
Here's the basic code:
EOQualifier poolQual = Pool.NAME.eq(name);
pool = Pool.fetchRequiredPool(ec, poolQual);
entry = Entry.createEntry(ec, "DEFAULT", "pw", true, false, new
Integer(0), "", false, false, false, new Integer(0), pool, user);
EntryScore es = EntryScore.createEntryScore(ec, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0);
entry.setEntryScore(es);
ec.saveChanges();
