-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add convenience methods for List/Set/Map of values into Associations
                 Key: ZEST-174
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEST-174
             Project: Zest
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Niclas Hedhman


In the UnitOfWork, we should probably add the following methods,

{code}
<T> void toAssociations( ManyAssociation<T> assoc, List<T> values );
<T> void toAssociations( ManyAssociation<T> assoc, Set<T> values );
<T> void toAssociations( NamedAssociation<T> assoc, Map<T> values );
{code}

For each element in 'values', call the toEntity() method in UnitOfWork, and then add it to the Association. The toEntity() will do all the heavy lifting of creating/updating the underlying entity store.
