I am trying to save and retrieve data in google app engine in hierarchical manner.
1. In such a case ,where I am using key's for reference to another entity (i.e parent --> child) @PersistenceCapable(identityType = IdentityType.APPLICATION, detachable = "true") public class Item { @PrimaryKey @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY) private Key key; @Persistent private List<Key> childs; // } there is no replication of data. Is it possible that child entities get saved automatically when parent is saved in above case where I am using Keys ? 2. If I tried same without keys .. @PersistenceCapable(identityType = IdentityType.APPLICATION, detachable = "true") public class Item { @PrimaryKey @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY) private Key key; @Persistent private List<Child> childs; // } In this case when I saved parent entity then child's also get saved automatically . But then there is replication of data i.e for different child's of same parent there are separate copies of parent's. Can anybody give me some Ideas and Links ?? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
