I should plug my usual "check out 3.0 lifecycle callbacks" mantra :-)

of course to get this functionality, you'd need to build Cayenne from
SVN. Hopefully we'll restore the nightly builds someday. And even
better - graduate from Apache Incubator and start posting official
milestone releases of 3.0 :-)

Perhaps this is because of my WO/EOF background, but I had always

is this because WO/EOF specifically guides you *not* to put any
side-effect code into the validate* methods.
but i want to say this was ok .. since there were other delegate
methods to tidy up before validateFor* was invoked ..
(now - if i could just remember which one .. hmm. is that right?)
I can't say I ever read it in regards to Cayenne, but it feels
like the right thing to me.
Not sure why it changed in behavior, though.
in cayenne -- there is no equivalent delegate .. and i believe the
right/best way to handle this situation is to implement the side-
effects in validateFor*().
