I think that part of the issue is that Cayenne seems to be
inconsistent in
how it handles this.
A runtime relationship is not created if a subclass is missing a
relationship. ObjEntity will try to use the base class's
relationship if it
can.
Why is that inconsistent? ObjEntity is a model of a Java class... All
superclass fields and methods are first-class citizens (no pun
intended) in a subclass... So a relationship owned by a superentity,
is a relationship of every subentity. This logic of course applies to
the *source* of the relationship, not the *target* (there is no
relationship target inheritance). Or are you talking about something
else?
