complex objects...

Is there a way in torque to handle a situation like the following:

I have a NOTE table.. I want to be able to attach a NOTE to any other table
in my database.. So I have an ID field which corresponds to the PK of the
table I am attaching to.. and I also have a TABLE_NAME column which would
have the name of the table the note is attached to..

Is there a way for torque to handle this in its mappings? a good resource or
example somewhere would be fine...

thanks.

Look at the java-icalendar code. The structure of the tables is pretty 
much the same. I think the author used mainly castor for this type of 
problem...

Torque will not be able to generate any code to help with this kind of
mapping.  You will have to add your own methods.
