There are two things that come up. 1) Per my comment, I think we deliberately removed the ability to auto-register with a DC. Perhaps that was a bad decision, perhaps not. Now that I've been prodded a bit, I'll try to dig up the proper thread.
2) If we do decide that auto-registration may be a bad idea, then the problem is a result of trying to associate two unregistered DOs. This is something that needs to be addressed at a higher level and is slated for 3.0.x. It would be a big change to throw into a "stable" release. -- Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrus Adamchik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 8:49 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Fwd: [JIRA] Commented: (CAY-763) XML Deserialization > fails on relationships when using a mapping file > > Kevin, > > I can apply the patch attached by Robert.
