You certainly can retrieve an array of objects. If Transfer didn't, it would
be far less useful. :)
In Transfer, you establish your relationships (or object compositions, in
some cases) in the Transfer XML config file. Here's an example...
<package name="car">
<object name="Car" table="tbl_Cars">
<id name="CarID" type="numeric" />
<property name="Name" type="string" />
<onetomany name="wheels">
<link to="car.Wheels" column="Car_ID" />
<collection type="array" />
</onetomany>
</object>
<object name="Wheels" table="tbl_Wheels">
<id name="WheelID" type="numeric" />
<property name="Name" type="string" />
</object>
</package>
In this case, tbl_Wheels has a FK to tbl_Cars called Car_ID. To retreive an
array of wheels, you'd simply retrieve a Car from Transfer and call
getWheels().
car = transfer.get('car.Car",3); // Used a fake PK of "3"
if( car.containsWheels() ) {
dump( car.getWheelsArray() );
}
Some of that might be pseudo code off the top of my head. Check out the
following 2 docs for more detailed info...
