If you are really interested, you can provide this by overriding

public void propagateDeleteForObject(EOEnterpriseObject obj, EOEditingContext ec)

in your EntityClassDescription class. Should be pretty straightforward to take the difference between toXXXRelationsshipKeys and allToXXXRelationshipKeys and delete what's in there.

Welcome to the club. My bugs about HTML 4/XHTML stuff are outstanding since 2000.

Cheers, Anjo

I started writing the little test after reading Jerry's email (and before Christian responded), but just wanted to add that I see this same behavior in the test case ... Delete rules are NOT applied for non-class relationships. At which point, I'm not sure they add any value at all for a regular relationship. That's too bad. I've always wondered this one.

I believe that a distinction needs to be made between no inverse relationship and an inverse relationship that's not marked as a class property. By making the to-many inverse relationship not a class property, EOF won't use it to keep the object graph consistent (i.e., it won't fetch those 1,000,000 objects), but I think EOF may still use this inverse relationship in ways that can be beneficial. So I always include inverse relationships in my eomodels but don't mark as class properties those to-many inverse relationships that might cause unacceptable fetching activity. Seems to work well for me.

That's an interesting conjecture. Are you aware of any reference documentation or experimental results to support this position? It seems equally likely (in my current state of ignorance) to provide beneficial results, to simply consume extra unused resources or to have no discernible effect. If beneficial results, I'd love to know what they are. If extra unused resource consumption, then we'd all probably be better to avoid the distinction as well as the inverse relationship.

IIRC, earlier versions of EOF used to acknowledge delete rules on non-property relationships. So you could mark that "1,000,000 objects to-many" as non-property and still set it for delete-deny or delete-cascade, which was very useful. Unfortunately, that doesn't work anymore. So unless you need that relationship to flatten another relationship, non-property relationships don't seem to be useful, AFAIK.

I've filed a bug about this over three years ago. Just checked the status - is still "Open." I've given up hope on that one...
