Hi Hugi, If validateForInsert() is being called before PrePersist, we have a disconnect between the documentation and the behavior you are seeing:
"PrePersist: right before a new object is committed, inside ObjectContext.commitChanges() and ObjectContext.commitChangesToParent() (and prior to validateForInsert())." What version of Cayenne are you using? I wonder if something has changed or if the documentation is just wrong.
