Hi Scott, I'm sorry to hear you're struggling to remove a child object from the owner's collection. This message board, our official documentation, the collection of test cases for our JDO/JPA implementation, and the GAE persistence blog are currently the best resources for information about JDO/JPA on app engine. Have you started a thread on the forum describing your problem? If not, please do, and be sure to include your model objects and your persistence code.
