Then it is not a true 1:1 as one a may have many b’s and one b may have many a’s. Thats what Robert meant by not being a true 1:1.
If you join a PK to an FK you always have a 1:n

Exactly. Since this is not one of the two relationships is not an inverse of the other then addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey won't work, because it will not find an inverse relationship. What you have are two separate, unidirectional, relationships that D2W won't manage for you.

a-pk<--b-fk
a-fk --> b-pk

not the same as:
a-pk<-->b-pk (true one-to-one)

not the same as:
a-pk<-->>b-fk (one-to-many)

D2W/EOF should manage these properly using addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey because it can find the inverse relationships using:

public String inverseForRelationshipKey(String relationshipKey)

or whatever magic it uses to find the inverse.

Johan,

Is this truly a one-to-one relationship as modeled? I mean are the tables joined PK <----> PK? Or is this modeled as a one-to- many with the many-side limited to one related object in the array?

it is like:

a-pk<--b-fk
a-fk --> b-pk

So the foreign key of table a points to the primary key of b and vice versa, so one can find a via b and find b via a.

If this is a true PK to PK one-to-one relationship, which way have you set "Propagates Primary Key?" If it's a true one-to-one it's that property of the model that is responsible to setting the destination PK.

I think we're not talking about the same type of relationships. Bot tables exist, they can not have one of the primary keys propagated, as it is not know beforehand which one of the records will relate to which record in the other table.

Then it is not a true 1:1 as one a may have many b’s and one b may have many a’s. Thats what Robert meant by not being a true 1:1.

Anyway, D2W should always call addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey. If it does not, it has a bug.
