Hi Malcolm,
I can provide some of this content if requested.
Please do that, this would be awesome. I think you have Wiki karma? I
would only request to edit each page locally and then load it to Wiki
in one shot, to make the review easier. Also you've probably already
noticed those hidden {excerpt} sections that we are using to build
the table of contents:

Hi All,
its great to see Cayenne progressing well to the 1.2 Final release.
There are two topics or items I would like to see added/modified
the Cayenne documentation.
1. Discussion on Web DataContext design patterns.
My experience is that it is not well understood that with the
DataContext is held in the session any changes to objects which
aren't committed in a request will be carried through in the
session and will be committed in a subsequent request commitChanges().
Outlining alternative patterns such as a default rollback in a
custom DataContext Filter would be very useful. This is the pattern
I use, after discussions on this list, and its extremely useful.
2. Many to Many / Flatterned Relationships
I think this topic needs some additional discussion or example
steps on how to create these relationships. Its not immediately
obvious for a newbie.
I think these updates will be quite helpful as Cayenne soon goes
out to a wider audience of new users.
I can provide some of this content if requested.
