setUser() or addToVisitorList() are standard cgen-created wrapper
methods which call setToOneTarget() or addToManyTarget(). They
provide you with type-checking. Also, in theory, if you ever had to
migrate away from Cayenne (undoubtably due to some political decision
rather than a technical one (-: ), it's easier to write code-generated
wrapper methods than to replace code that calls Cayenne classes
directly in your application classes.
public void setDependentIndividual(SecIndividual dependentIndividual) {
setToOneTarget("dependentIndividual",
(com.gvea.admindb.entity.cayenne.SecIndividual)dependentIndividual,
true);
}
public void addToParentRoleList(SecGroup obj) {
addToManyTarget("parentRoleList",
(com.gvea.admindb.entity.cayenne.SecGroup)obj, true);
}
