Gavin,
I often add a method to my decorator that accepts the ID for a manytoone
relationship and then sets the proper object relationship using that ID.
Something like
<cffunction name="setIssueTypeId" access="public" output="false"
returntype="void">
<cfargument name="IssueTypeId" type="numeric" required="true">
<cfset var issueType=
getTransfer().get("IssueType",arguments.IssueTypeId)>
<cfset getTransferObject().setIssueType(issueType) />
</cffunction>
Some folks do not like this convention, but I do because it encapsulates the
object composition process directly in the business object.
