I don't see how that solves my problem. I'm not deleting the parent
record at all, im loading it into session scope and modifying it's
it's child records via the iterator. I want to be able to delete an
item from the iterator array but not delete it from the database until
I save the parent record.

I have been able to do what I want but only by adding a function to
the iterator that I can call before saving the parent record. This
function deletes all elements in the iterator array with
variables.deleted set to 1. I can only do this by adding a setter in
the record object that allows me to set the variables.deleted variable
to 1 without actually deleting the record. I also had to override the
set/getTo method to remove the isDeleted() check.

It's definitely a hack but im just playing around to see if I can get
it to work as I need. It just seems strange that iterator.add() method
doesn't persist a new array item to the database but delete() does.

Patrick,

Not having cascading deletes was intentional. What I've done in your
situation is define cascading deletes in the database.  FWIW.
