What is a relationship |
| A relationship defines that peanuts of a type can reference other peanuts |
Relationships are implicit, but their navigation is descibed through whose type is the class of the related . If so the relationship can be navigated by retrieving the value. There may also be a property that offers navigation of the relationship in the opposite direction. If so the navigation is bi-directional.
implements for navigating relationships. It looks for a property with the same name, extended with 'Id'. Then it lets the of its type retrieve a peanut with the value of that property as its id. If this is a this will retrieve the peanut from the database, or maybe from the cache.
PntDerivedPropertyDescriptor also implements default behavior for setting a related peanut as a property value: it will get the id from the related peanut and set that as the value of the id-property described above.
may offer navigation in the opposite direction, and since version 1.2, over n to m relationships.
Property getters and setters may override all this.
