Hello, my name is Daniel. I have just joined the list to ask one or two related questions:
I would appreciate if Torque saved an object tree for me - e.g. I have a Book with two Authors and want to call book.addAuthor(a1); book.addAuthor(a2); BookPeer.doSave(book); // should insert or update the book and both authors For this purpose, and as it seems that this feature is not implemented in Torque, I wrote the doSave(Book) method in BookPeer, like this: public static void doSave(Book book) throws TorqueException { if (matchEinzel.isNew()) { BookPeer.doInsert(book); } else { if (book.isModified()) { BookPeer.doUpdate(matchEinzel); } } ObjectKey key = book.getPrimaryKey(); List authors = book.collAuthors; // do the same for a List of author objects... doSaveAuthors(key, authors); } That works quite well, but when I read a simple object from DB and call the doSave() on it immediately, the object has "true" as it's modified flag, what results in an (unwanted) update in the above doSave()-method: Book oldBook = BookPeer.retrieveByPK(123); BookPeer.doSave(oldBook); // performs an Update! This can be fixed by overriding a BasePeer's method row2Object(Record, int, Class) like this - what I don't want to do for any generated class, as you may have guessed... ;-) public static Book row2Object(Record row, int offset, Class cls) throws TorqueException { Book obj = BaseBookPeer.row2Object(row, offset, cls); obj.setModified(false); return obj; } So, finally my 2 questions: - Did I miss a Torque feature that saves an object tree for me? - Isn't it just wrong that a row being read freshly from DB has the modified-flag set to true?
