[FLOW3-general] One question about mm relation

[Manfred Rutschmann - VOLUMEN Werbe-/Internetagentur]

Hi guys,

one question about mm relation. I have two objects:

Company
Action

Many Companys can have many Actions. 

I need access to the acions from the company context. But i need the access from Actions to the company to. Now i have the objects defnied as follow:

Company:


	/**
	 * The action
	 * @ORM\ManyToMany(inversedBy="company")
	 * @var \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection<\Kunden\Domain\Model\Action>
	 */
	protected $action;	

Action:

	/**
	 * The company
	 * @ORM\ManyToMany(mappedBy="action")
	 * @var \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection<\Kunden\Domain\Model\Company>
	 */
	protected $company;	

This configuration gives me the following table: kunden_domain_model_company_action_join

Now i create in my ActionController a new action. For this case i have only one company to assign:

	/**
	 * createAction
	 * @param \Kunden\Domain\Model\Action $action
	 * @param \Kunden\Domain\Model\Company $company
	 * @return void
	 * 
	 */
	public function createAction(\Kunden\Domain\Model\Action $action, \Kunden\Domain\Model\Company $company){

		$collection = new \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
		$collection->add($company);
		$aktion->setCompany($collection);

		$this->aktionRepository->add($action);
		$this->redirect("edit", "Company", NULL, array("company" => $company));
	}	

In this case no relation is created by flow3. To create a mm relation between two objects i have to do the following:

	/**
	 * createAction
	 * @param \Kunden\Domain\Model\Action $action
	 * @param \Kunden\Domain\Model\Company $company
	 * @return void
	 * 
	 */
	public function createAction(\Kunden\Domain\Model\Action $action, \Kunden\Domain\Model\Company $company){

		$collection = new \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
		$collection->add($action);
		$company->setAction($collection);


		$this->aktionRepository->add($action);
		$this->companyRepository->update($company);

		$this->redirect("edit", "Company", NULL, array("company" => $company));
	}	

Ist that right? I have update the company with the action as collection by hand?

Many thanks for assistance!
