I have two EO classes joined in a flattened many-to-many relationship (User <-->> UserGroupJoin <<--> Group). UserGroupJoin is dead-simple -- nothing but foreign keys to User and Group.

I want to log whenever one of the join items is created or removed. The UI for this is a UserEdit page with Group items in checkboxes, and, likewise, a GroupEdit page with User items in checkboxes.

I use a custom EC subclass, so I thought I'd create the log by checking for UserGroupJoin items in insertedObjects() and deletedObjects() during saveChanges(). Well, they never show up there. So then I tried adding logging to UserGroupJoin.awakeFromInsertion(). That isn't called either.

Does anybody know how I can get at this information?

Do you actually have a Java class for UserGroupJoin? I usually leave that as pure EOGenericRecord.

That's normally what I do, too. In this case, I'm working with a legacy model that defines a Java class for UserGroupJoin.

To answer your question, I would not bother looking at the join table. Instead, I would look at the users() and groups() relationship on the relevant object,

This is what I wound up doing. The initial values are cached and then compared with the updated values before EC.saveChanges(). Notifications would be a nice way to handle it, but I'm not ready to tackle them yet.

Thanks,

zak.
