foreignAutoUpdate? Updating foreign objects

[barrychapman]

@j256 - I recall seeing a forum post somewhere, where you had entertained the idea of adding a foreignAutoUpdate annotation.

Is this something that may be done in the future? It would be really useful. Especially, for example, if you update a join table which contains two foreign objects. You could then update those two included objects. This could be coupled with an isDirty() method.

Thanks!

Sorry to not leave feedback on this sooner. I've certainly read this issue and am still considering it. You've probably moved on but I've got some questions.

I assume that there would be an interface like AutoUpdatable or something which would define the isDirty() method. When would trigger it to be called.
