Is there a datatype for "Link to Other Object"?

Monday 12 May 2003 12:25:22 pm

As I understand it, each attribute on a content class is typed with a datatype e.g. String, xmlText, etc.

Is there a datatype for "Link to another content object"?
Is there a data type for "Set of links to other content objects"?

Is is possible for me to figure out the answers to these myself without looking at the source code?

I would like to have something like
class B
some attributes of B
end

class A
name: String
good_bs: Set of Bs
bad_bs: Set of Bs
end

I believe "Related Objects" will allow me to group some related Bs into each A_object. However, I do not believe it will allow me to distinguish the good_bs from the bad_bs for a given A_object.

Thanks.

Thanks Paul.

Where can I learn more about "object relation"? I tried to google-search the site ez.no and did not have much luck.

Do I understand you correctly that (a) I can currently do:
class A
the_best_B: B
end

but cannot do:
class A
all_good_bs: Set of Bs
end
