Well yes, If you set a foreign key that points to an id that does not exist
you will get an exception when performing save. But the setting of the value
itself, in java, can never throw an exception. Here is an example of a
set-method. All it does is it assigns new values to class attributes and
comparing the parameter with existing values.
public void setCompanyId(int v) throws TorqueException
{
if (this.companyId != v)
{
this.companyId = v;
setModified(true);
}
if (aCompany != null && !(aCompany.getId() == v))
{
aCompany = null;
}
}

Setting a foreign key could cause a consistency problem with the
database. If the record the foreign key points to does not exist, you
will get an exception on save() (depending on your schema). So this
Exception exists to allow you handling this problem beforehand. There is
no default action for this situation.
