DeepSave problem

I'm having a problem with DeepSave, and before I bang my head against the wall I want to make sure I'm calling it correctly.  Is this a valid way to call it?  I'm using the Service Layer pattern.  The ObjectMaster has five child collections, which are basically subtypes in the data model.  The 1st child saves OK, and the ObjectMaster saves OK, but children 2 + do not get saved.

   [Test]
  public void DeepSaveObjectMasterAndChildren()
  {
   TList<ObjectMaster> objectMasterList = new TList<ObjectMaster>();
   ObjectMasterService objectMasterService = new ObjectMasterService();
   // Add an Incident
   ObjectMaster incidentParent = objectMasterList.AddNew();
   Incident incident = incidentParent.IncidentCollection.AddNew();
   // Add an Individual
   ObjectMaster individualParent = objectMasterList.AddNew();
   Individual individual = individualParent.IndividualCollection.AddNew();
   // Add a Location
   ObjectMaster locationParent = objectMasterList.AddNew();
   Location location = locationParent.LocationCollection.AddNew();
   // DeepSave all objects
   DataRepository.ObjectMasterProvider.DeepSave(objectMasterList);
  }

My issue appears to go away when I modify "CanDeepSave" per a related post:

                else if ( deepSaveType == DeepSaveType.IncludeChildren )
                {
                    if ( innerList.Contains(key) )
                    {
                        innerList.AddProperty(entity, key, property);
                        return true;
                    }
                }

I'm waiting to hear from the netTiers team before I consider it solved, however.

Hi, that fixes half of the problem, and should work for 60% of the conditions that go through that code.   So it's likely that will work for you.  But the version i will be releasing will be completely different and use WeakReferences on saved objects instead of tracking properties and keys.

Hello -
I faced the same problem and I think the right solution is to add not(!) before innerList.HasProperty.. because it doesn't make sense to check if item found then add it again also this is what is used in DeepLoad method

else if ( deepSaveType == DeepSaveType.IncludeChildren )
                {
                    if ( innerList.Contains(key) && !innerList.HasProperty(entity, key, property) )
                    {
                        innerList.AddProperty(entity, key, property);
                        return true;
                    }
                }

I wanted to view my solution and want to ask if this will affect any other thing in the project or not and what may be affected.
Please advice

Hossam,

that will work in SOME cases, but it's not a complete fix.  Robert is working on a fix that should cover both DeepLoad and DeepSave.  Hopefully he will release it sometime soon.

Fixed in SVN Rev 433.

Robert,
Thanks for your reply and it will be great if you told me how you solved it.

Thanks and have a nice day
