[doctrine-user] Is it a good practice to keep/maintain Doctrine and non-Doctrine ways of setting foreign keys?

[Dennis Fedco]

When foreign key integer value is already known ... Is it a good practice 
to have both methods for:

   - setting foreign ID directly by using its integer value 
   - setting foreign ID by using the associated Entity

Example:
$item = new Item();


//setting foreign key by its integer value

$item->setProductId(4);


//setting foreign key via its Doctrine Entity:

$productEntity = $em->find(Product::class, 4);

$item->setProduct($productEntity);
