I can't answer your question about HABTM/saveAll() but what I've done
in the past is put the validation rule in the 'JoinModel'. In the
controller for the other model:
$this->SavingModel->JoinModel->set($this->data);
if (!$this->SavingModel->JoinModel->validates())
{
$this->SavingModel->JoinModel->invalidate('JoinModel');
}
else if ($this->SavingModel->save($this->data))
{
...
I do think it's worth filing a bug about what you described, fwiw.
That does seem odd. But I haven't had the best luck with that, either.
The last time, I received the usual sarcastic replies that suggested
I'm clueless. However, although never acknowledged, the bug I reported
was fixed :-)
