Thanks for all your suggestions everyone, they are all very interesting and helpful.

I went for the quick and dirty separation of object creation/ insertion and then adding it to the relationship when I save. I don't like this because it takes me away from using the awesome WonderEntity eogenerator templates for object creation and insertion that does it all in one step. I will definitely explore each of these ideas going forward. Especially this one, Ramsey. Is there anything that Wonder doesn't do? ;-)

And if you're using wonder... ERXGenericRecord's isNewObject()... :)

Heya,

If you have an isNew() method on your EOs to check if they are new in their editing context you could try filtering using that too.

Something like this (or the WOnder equivalent):
new EOKeyValueQualifier(
        "isNew",
        EOQualifier.QualifierOperatorNotEqual,
        Boolean.TRUE
);

Might be handy if you really need to add the relationship first, or if you want to avoid using multiple ECs.

Cheers,

David

Hi all,
Is there a way for me to add an object to a to many relationship (list of objects) without leaving the page or representing the newObject both in the list and in the edit interface?
For example:
Meeting edit page
Attendees:
   John
   Mary
   Edward
       add new attendee(button)
When you hit the "add new attendee" button you get the new person object displayed in both the list and associated with the edit interface.
   John
   Mary
   Edward
   (new person)
   name: (new person)
   (save) (cancel)
The attendee has a mandatory meeting relationship, so it is added to the meeting upon creation. The new object is displayed as the final object in the to many relationship even before saveChanges is called on the editingContext. Is it possible to show only the objects in the relationship that have already been saved to the database and the newly created (but not yet saved) object separately? Normally I would add the attendee on a separate page and on save come back to the original meeting page but I would like to eliminate some jumping around if possible.
Thanks,
David
