Cool code-ness.... We probably want to keep this out of Project Wonder so that it can maintain its svelte code size and laser-like focus. Can't just throw any old thing in, can we now? :-)

In the past I have written something like this to "diff/merge" the array param with the current relationship array. For example:

<snip>
public void setDataRecordsRelationship( NSArray<CTDataRecord> dataRecordsToSet ) {
       if ( dataRecordsToSet == null ) {
NSArray<CTDataRecord> currentDataRecords = dataRecords().immutableClone();
           for (CTDataRecord dataRecord : currentDataRecords) {
               removeFromDataRecordsRelationship(dataRecord);

               dataRecord.deleteIfOrphan();
           }
       } else if (countDataRecords().intValue() == 0) {
addObjectsToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey(dataRecordsToSet, KEY_DATA_RECORDS);

       } else {
// Get list of records in relationship that are not in new set NSArray<CTDataRecord> eosToDelete = ERXArrayUtilities.arrayMinusArray(dataRecords().immutableClone(), dataRecordsToSet);

           // Get list of ones to add
NSArray<CTDataRecord> eosToAdd = ERXArrayUtilities .arrayMinusArray (dataRecordsToSet.immutableClone(),dataRecords().immutableClone());

           // Perform adds
addObjectsToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey(eosToAdd, KEY_DATA_RECORDS);

           // Perform removes/deletes
           for (CTDataRecord dataRecord : eosToDelete) {
               removeFromDataRecordsRelationship(dataRecord);

               dataRecord.deleteIfOrphan();
           }

       }
   }
</snip>

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.
