so I am creating a little test. I have a People and a Job entity. attributes:
People has a personName attribute and Job has a jobtitle I created the many to many selecting the Flatten Relationship option. I get a new entity: PeopleJob so far so good. I see in _Job.java a method: addToPeoplesRelationship but no 'set'. Was that a typo on your part? I am going to continue playing with my test app and see where it leads me. thanks for the help.
