I dont get it. Can some one explain this to me: Spec: Page Number 139
One-to-many bidirectional relationships
A and B are in a one-to-many bidirectional relationship:
A 0..1<-----> 0..* B
Before change:
Collection b1 = a1.getB();
Collection b2 = a2.getB();
B b11, b12, ... , b1n; // members of b1
B b21, b22, ... , b2m; // members of b2
Change:
a1.setB(a2.getB());
Expected result:
(a2.getB().isEmpty()) &&
(b2.isEmpty()) &&
(b1 == a1.getB()) &&
(b2 == a2.getB()) &&
(a1.getB().contains(b21)) &&
(a1.getB().contains(b22)) && ... &&
(a1.getB().contains(b2m)) &&
(b11.getA() == null) &&
(b12.getA() == null) && ... &&
(b1n.getA() == null) &&
(a1.isIdentical(b21.getA())) &&
(a1.isIdentical(b22.getA())) && ...&&
(a1.isIdentical(b2m.getA()))
I understand the above. But.
Change:
b2m.setA(b1n.getA());
Since b1n.getA() == null, shouldn't it be b2m.setA(null); ??
but according to the spec, it is
Expected result:
(b1.contains(b11)) &&
(b1.contains(b12)) && ... &&
(b1.contains(b1n)) &&
(b1.contains(b2m)) &&
(b2.contains(b21)) &&
(b2.contains(b22)) && ... &&
(b2.contains(b2m_1)) &&
(a1.isIdentical(b11.getA())) &&
(a1.isIdentical(b12.getA())) && ... &&
(a1.isIdentical(b1n.getA())) &&
(a2.isIdentical(b21.getA())) &&
(a2.isIdentical(b22.getA())) && ... &&
(a2.isIdentical(b2m_1.getA())) &&
(a1.isIdentical(b2m.getA()))
