I think I have probably solved the original problem (quoted below) all right,
for the record, by doing essentially this in the
databaseContextWillOrderAdaptorOperations delegate method:
1. go through all the database operations; for each of them
2. go through all the relationships of the DBOp object; find those which lead
into SEC
3. for each such relationship check whether changesFromCommittedSnapshot
contain a value for its name
4. if so, check whether DBOp's rowDiffs have the proper target PK[*] for
the rel source attribute name (it never seems to happen!)
5. if not, add it to a mutable copy of DBOp's newRow
6. having processed all the rels, if anything was added, change DBOp's newRow
and call the DBContext private (ick!) method
createAdaptorOperationsForDatabaseOperation
7. having processed all the DBOps, call the DBContext private (another ick)
method orderAdaptorOperations and return its value from the delegate method.
[*] my models happen to contain only simple FK->PK relships to SEC;
considerably more generic and complex code would be needed for all the possible
cases of course.
That seems to — with by far not exhaustive testing — save the changes into the
database properly.
Quite non-trivial code for simple
saving-of-relationship-as-set-in-object-graph-into-DB.
I wonder. Is it perhaps a big no-no to use and edit relationships from normal
ECs into the SEC? I thought those are fully supported (unlike the other
direction). Or do I just do something terribly wrong somewhere in my
application, for this should work all right?
Does anyone here use this setup (creating/updating EOs with one-way
relationships into SEC), and does it work properly for you without all this
hassle?
Thanks,
OC
