------------------------------------
Summary: Make "soft" delete the first-class citizen
Key: CAY-2969
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2969
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
Fix For: 5.0-M3
Let's make soft delete more convenient to configure via an extender API:
{noformat}
CoreModule.extend(b).useSoftDeleteIfColumnPresent("db_attribute_name");{noformat}
And use this opportunity to rework the backend, treating soft delete as a
first-class citizen during batch generation on commit instead of the current
hack with delete batch interception.
User recommendation: do not map the delete column ("db_attribute_name" in the
example above) as an ObjAttribute.
(TODO: in the future, maybe we can make the deleted flag a part of DbAttribute,
and then the Modeler would assist in making the right mapping decision).
