Hi guys, I'm having a bit of a brain freeze right now trying to figure out how to handle something which is probably pretty simple.
I have a user object which has a manytoone relationship with a message object. I essentially make a call to my gateway to retrieve the latest message a user has received and store it in the user object. This all works fine if the user has received a message. However, if they have not Transfer will error when I try to save the user object complaining that the manytoone has not been persisted - which is perfectly true. In this case when I asked for the latest message I was given a non- persisted message object (id=0). What is the best way to handle the case where the user does not yet have a latest message and simply place 0 in the lnkIDMessage field? I have a feeling this is probably not a good way to handle things. I set this up a while ago as I felt it would be useful to be able to ask the user object what the latest message is that the user has received: getCurrentUser().getLatestMessage() It's just handling a null case that is baffling me. I know having a generic persisted message in the d/b would solve this but that feels pretty nasty as well. Any advice would be appreciated.
