I have an app that will take orders. I didn't fully consider the consequences of inserting the orders directly into the DB. Now I've run into the situation where an order gets created and then someone decides to simply close their browser before completing payment. Now I have a "bad" order in the system.

My initial thought for dealing with this was simply to not insert the order and associated lineitems into the db context until after the process is complete. The problem with this is that it violates one of the rules I've read about. That is, that you should insert objects into the context before any manipulation of those objects.

Does anyone have an elegant solution for this, or should I simply create some dummy objects and then clone them into new objects that I insert into the DB immediately on creation?

Thanks,
Kevin
