Hi Mark,
However in the modeler the delete rule for both sides of the
relationship is "No Action".
you may want to change delete rule to "Nullify" from many side to one
side of the relationship. Otherwise you'd have to explicitly unset the
relationship before deleting an object.

Hello,
I am using Cayenned 2.0.4.
What is the proper way to delete the full collection of tomany
objects and have the target object's array correctly reflect the
deletion?
The manual (http://cayenne.apache.org/doc20/deleting-objects.html)
says to use dataContext.deleteObjects if you want to delete all
objects in the collection.
What it does not say is that the target object's array will still
contain references to objects that are scheduled for deletion (or
have been deleted after committal).
I have code like this:
System.out.println("paintings: " +
artist.getPaintingsArray().size()); // "1"
dataContext.deleteObjects(artist.getPaintingsArray());
System.out.println("paintings: " +
artist.getPaintingsArray().size()); // "1"
dataContext.commitChanges();
System.out.println("paintings: " +
artist.getPaintingsArray().size()); // "1"
But if I try to delete the objects myself using an iterator as
described on that manual page I get a
ConcurrencyModificationException--which is warned about on that
page. It says this may result from the object being deleted having
a "nullify delete rule". However in the modeler the delete rule for
both sides of the relationship is "No Action".
I would appreciate if someone could suggest how I am supposed to do
this (without switching Cayenne versions).
Thanks,
Mark
