You can use custom
org.objectstyle.cayenne.property.ClassDescriptorFactory to customize
how the objects are built. The factory is set on the DataDomain's
EntityResolver. Specifically custom factory will need to tweak how
ToManyListProperty operates to return a subclass of NSArray that
implements ValueHolder interface.
Also I believe you will need to patch the faulting mechanism, that
currently uses static fault singletons in a few places (search for
'Fault.getToManyFault()'), and replace it with ClassDescriptor based
approach.
On another note, I have several patches to submit for the wocompat
package, but I was not sure if you wanted them, because you put it
into
RC1 already.
We won't be able to apply them now, but RC also means that the new
release cycle will soon start. Stay tuned.
Andrus as a person with WO experience, which of the other
frameworks do you think works the best?
I like Click. Don't know how representative this is of a "former WO
user" :-)
