DataContext - new method wanted

Hello,

If I have a collection of transient CayenneDataObjects with no relations
between any of them and want to persist them, it would be convenient to
"say":

context.registerObjects(myCayenneDataObjects); // sets state to NEW
context.commitChanges();

Now there is only a singular form of this method
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/api/org/apache/cayenne/ObjectContext.html#registerNewObject(java.lang.Object)

But probably there is a reason for not having this method.

Cheers,
Borut

Hi,

context.deleteObjects(Collection objects)
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/api/org/apache/cayenne/access/DataContext.html#deleteObjects(java.util.Collection)

already exists, so I see some sense in adding
context.registerObjects(Collection objects) from this perspective.

Cheers,
Borut

There's been some effort to keep only the essential non-redundant  
methods in the ObjectContext interface to make it more flexible for  
nested/ROP operation and to simplify its proxying. I am neutral to  
adding the new method to the *DataContext class*, as long as it  
doesn't make it to the interface.

This seems reasonable.  I'll open a ticket for it later.
