Hi,
I'm making good progress in my first Rife application, but I am still
confused about a few things. I didn't find a good answer in the docs
either. It's about the manytoone constraint one can put in a metadata
class. What does this do ? I read I can provide it a table name and a
field. So does this mean at the time of validation, e.g. the id is
checked for its presence in this table ? Or can it do other things too
? I think I understand it does not allow one to restore related
objects. That's something I need to do in the afterRestore() callback,
right ?. But that leaves me with a bad feeling because it means I have
to put database code in my simple pojo bean. Or can I solve this like
the Metadata thing : add an extra class with a well defined name
(MyBeanCallback e.g.) that handles the callbacks. How are you guys
solving this ?
Next thing is a select list that gets filled with the contents of a db
table. Is the only way to accomplish this, adding an inList constraint
with the ids and next add a resourcebundle ? I confess this is not that
big a deal, but since Rife is about simplicity, maybe I am missing
something here.
thanks a lot
Henk
BTW : I've decided to put my Rife progress on my blog at www.marsman-it.be .
