i would like to do the following. i have a table, lets call it
"softwaretype". in this table i want to store main classes (e.g.
Internet software), but also subclasses (e.g. Internet Browsers, Mail,
FTP...). i add an "parent_id" field which stores the id of the
"parent". if the type is a main class, the is NULL in it.

how do i define associations? i made a hasMany association where i can
handle all "children" that worked. but how can i find the parent if i
have a subclass.

i think i have problems to understand associations at all. what if i
have no foreign key. i dont know how to make a key in a parent class
pointing to all children ???

hmmm
