Additional methods for handling associated objects
--------------------------------------------------
Key: TORQUE-182
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-182
Project: Torque
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Thomas Fox
Assignee: Thomas Fox
Assuming complexObjectModel=true and objectIsCaching=true (the default settings
for generation)
Consider a table (book) having a foreign key on another table (author).
Couurently, in the Author object, the method addBook() is implemented, by which
a book can be associated with the author and which adds it to the collection
obtained by getBooks(). These books are also saved when the author object is
saved.
However, there are no methods by which associations can be removed, an
associated book can be deleted or all associated books can be deleted.
It would be nice if one could do these operations on an object level and these
operations would be written to the database on save().
The first possibility to implement this would be to generate methods
removeBook(), deleteBook() and deleteAllBooks().
The other possibility would be to use a custom list object which intercepts the
calls to the add(), remove() etc methods and translates these operations to
database operations (with the problem that remove() can be interpreted as
removing the association as well as deleting the associated object, my
preference being the latter)
