Hi Robert,
It should not be too difficult, I've added all kind of methods to my
decorators. This is how I'd do it:
1. The model persists its data in 3 tables for the 2 objects and their many
to many relationship (foos, bars and lnk_FooBar). Transfer.xml should look
something like:
<object name="Foo" table="foos" >
<id name="FooId" column="FOO_ID" type="GUID" generate="true" />
<property name="Name" type="string" column="name" />
...
<manytomany name="Bars" table="lnk_FooBar">
<link to="...Foo" column="lnkIDFoo"/>
<link to="...Bar" column="lnkIDBar"/>
<collection type="array"/>
</manytomany>
</object>
<object name="Bar" table="bars" decorator="...decorators.Bar">
<id name="BarId" column="BAR_ID" type="GUID" generate="true" />
<property name="Name" type="string" column="name" />
...
</object>
The table lnkFooBar should only consist of 2 columns, lnkIDFoo and lnkIDBar.
2. In the decorator for Bar, I'd add the following method:
<cffunction name="getParentFoos" access="public" returntype="Array">
<cfset var foos = ArrayNew(1) />
<cfset var qry = getTransfer().createQuery("FROM ...Foo JOIN ...Bar WHERE
...Bar.BarId = :myId") />
<cfset var foosQuery = "" />
<cfset qry.setParam("myId", getBarId()) />
<cfset foosQuery = getTransfer().listByQuery(qry) />
<cfloop query="foosQuery">
<cfset ArrayAppend(foos, getTransfer().get("...Foo", foosQuery.FooId) ) />
</cfloop>
<cfreturn foos />
</cffunction>
Every "..." should be replaced with the package name. A similar method could
obtain structs.
HTH,
Pedro.
