I have yet to see *one* case where setting an array is actually useful, since AFAIK you can't simply create an array, add a new EO, set this array and expect to get a reasonable object graph.

I think you can actually. I can think of several times that I have done this.




I *did* have a special NSArray class especially for relationships that was "linked" to the EO, in that you could someEO.someRelationship().addObject() to it and it would call up someEO.addObjectToBothSides() for you, but it was a bitch to write (like the two-side relationship stuff).

I have noticed that the default _wonder.java template does not produce a method to assign an array to a toMany relationship, as:

public void setMyMany(NSArray value) {
        takeStoredValueForKey(value, "myMany");
}

Is there a problem with doing so? Should I change my method to delete all the current relationships, and then loop through the updated array and use "addTo${relationship.capitalizedName}" instead?

Thanks

This is more of a Wonder question. It is safe WRT to EOF to do this. BUT ERXGenericRecord has some fancy relationship automagic manipulation that may not work. It may work, I don't use it and I don't recall offhand.
