Hi all,

I have been using D2W and have been managing quite well without having to write any code. However, I have run into a situation where I need to insert a bunch of objects when another object is being created. I was wondering if I could write this code in the validateForSave of the original object.

In a word, no.  That is not a safe thing to do.

For example, if I need to save a few Bar objects when I create a Foo, can I write the code for the creating of the Bar objects in the validateForSave of the Foo class? Well, I know I can. But I was wondering if this was a good way of doing this. Or is there a better way to achieve this without having to write my own component etc.


Use awakeFromInsertion.
