CMR many-2-many: howto add/remove beans ?

[draftdog]

hi,

does anyone here has any experience with many-to-many relationships managed by the container (EJB2.x) ?

Jboss creates and manages the JOIN table for you, but I wonder what happens when you want to do destructive operations on these relations, for example:

Suppose you have UserEJB and ProjectEJB:
1. users work on several projects, and
2. projects can have several users working on them

this is many-to-many

how would you add a user to a project in this case ? would you simply call project.getUsers(), get the Collection and add a user bean there ? will JBoss handle this correctly by updating the JOIN table ?

thanx
Wouter.

okay.. so I found the time to do a little test and it seems that the container handles the many-to-many relation: the collection returned can be used directly since it is live (local interfaces EJB2.x), the JOIN table will be updated accordingly

so the answer to my previous email would be: yes

pretty great ;-)
