It looks like the save function sits in your objects, so my guess is
that as part of user.save() you also must call address.save() (maybe
user.get('addresses').save() ?)That seems logical to me, but others may have some better ideas. I think in my current models I would pass User to my UserService for this. UserService would probably need to be AddressService aware and then pass Address in to talk to the AddressDAO. We're currently doing an XML integration, so I turn the object into XML and pass it on to a web service (so, yes, looping and some recursion), so my brain isn't in database mode right now... anthony -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Roberson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 12:07 PM To: cfcdev@cfczone.org; Anthony Israel-Davis Subject: Re: [CFCDEV] ORM: Generic Child Array in Parent Bean Anthony, I am reviving this issue again because I am wondering what must take place on the persistence side to save my user and all of the addresses related to it? In other words, once I have done user.set("addresses",addresses); how do I turn around and do user.save() to persist all of the addresses? Must I add some business logic in my userDAO to loop through the addresses and persist them?
