Hello.

We call this a flattened many to many relationship.

http://cayenne.apache.org/doc20/cayennemodeler-flattened- relationships.html

After flattening you will be able to call city.getStates() and so on.

Hello all. I am a fairly new user of Cayenne and am trying to get more
familiar with the API and modeler. My question deals with an identity table. I have not seen any documentation (or examples in the documentation) dealing
with this issue, which is why I'm posting to the list.

As an example, let's say I have three tables: city, state and city_state, where the city_state table is merely an identity table composed of foreign
keys to the city and state tables.

In my application, if I know the primary key for a state record, what would
be the best way to retrieve all the city records associated with it?

Thanks for any advice.
