I want to delete an EO object only if some data is not available in one of its relationships.

Can you not use a delete rule?  Deny is what you want.


No, at least from my understanding the deny delete rule is based on the fact that there are still entities on the other side of the relationship. Or is there some ways to programmatically tell that the denty rule to be triggered based on a date?

That was not very clear from  your original  problem statement.  :-)


Basically I do not want entities to be deleted with relationships that have have a changedate in the past, only current and future entities may be deleted. (I am building a time machine and I want to make sure nobody can delete the goats on our famous island in the pacific)

It sounds more like you want to implement validateForDelete() on the related EO with the date, not the root object. Check the changeDate and throw if it is not in the past.

But, IIRC, that won't happen until saveChanges(). Not sure, coffee is brewing right now.


Chuck



validateForDelete() can not be used, because before that us called the relations have already been obliterated.

mightDelete() gives the required info, but does not raise a validation exception.

How does one raise a validation exception in this situation, so that it will give these nice Yellow messages in a direct To Web Application?
