I think there are multiple problems that could be considered here.  Using the
example of a cart, the first problem could be the logic of adding items to
the cart.  I'm not a good enough modeller to answer this.

Another problem, that of simply displaying Collection aggregates (such as the
HTML table for the list of items in a cart), could be handled very elegantly
via the generation of a JSP tag handler in the java source tree that is
referenced by the JSP that needs to display the aggregate.  Generating this
tag handler would not be difficult, and would encourage developers to use
tags since all the tedium is taken care of by the generator.  

One consideration is whether the tag could interface with factory finder
methods for the aggregates such that the factory method is included in the
entity automatically.  But it's maybe a bit strange that the cartridge is
adding methods to the finder that aren't explicitly modelled.  Talking to the
finder for the entity in the aggregate seems to be the right thing for this,
what's the solution?
