CMR assignment rules...

[Rekha Rao]

In assignment rules for relationships (pg 154 of ejb spec)..

A and B are in one-to-one bidirectional relation..

a1 <--> b1
a2 <--> b2

changing:

a1.setB(a2.getB()) will result in

'a2.getB() == null'.

Suppose we just have:

a1.setB(b2) (that is, not accessing b2 through a2), will the container still be aware that b2 is involved with a2 and yield the same result ?

In bean class cmp fields are not declared. But the getters and setters for cmp fields are declared. So, there is no way we can set
a1.set(b2);

can get to local reference to entity bean b in the entity bean a and set it
still container figures it out and makes the reference for other to null

yes,the same result.
a2.getB()==null,because the container will do it for us
