Detached Cayenne Objects
Hi,
I have a very special problem :-/
We want to use a cayenne object as detached object, for a simple object
this works fine, as the attribute values are hosted in a value map, but we
need a context when we want to use the relations too :-/
What would be the best approach?
At the moment we create the object in a second context and copy the
attributes / relations with reflection (deep copy) as we have a lot of this
objects, creating context is very expensive and we want to reduce costs :-)

Ah, I can see that being a bit slower. Keep in mind the "directly" methods
won't resolve faults and there are different methods for dealing with
relationships.

Hi Michael,
I checked the stacktrace again, it's my fault, the expensive operation was
the reflection on the getter and setter :-/
The coding was pretty old, so I don't need reflection in my case ;-)
Here the old approach
Object value = Reflect.on(source).call("get" +
StringUtils.capitalize(objAttribute.getName())).get();
Reflect.on(target).call("set" +
StringUtils.capitalize(objAttribute.getName()), value);
Now I switch to
Object value = source.readPropertyDirectly(objAttribute.getName());
target.writePropertyDirectly(objAttribute.getName(), value);
I think this will give my application a real kick :-)

Hi Markus,
As you have discovered, Cayenne objects need to be in a context when
relationships are involved. I'm curious why you think creating a context
is very expensive, though? It should actually be pretty cheap
memory/cpu-wise.
As for copying objects, are you copying committed objects or copying
new/modified objects and you need the new values?
