Context-Sensitive Features

Server includes context-sensitive features which help you transparently maintain the referential integrity of an object model relying on Server relations. With Server, when you cut an object from its object structure, this operation is propagated to the objects located at a higher level in the object hierarchy according to certain rules.

This chapter is divided as follows:

• The cut Function defines the cut function, which can be called from the IlsObject or IlsEntity class.

• Cut Default Behavior explains how the cut function affects the target object(s).

• Redefining the cut Function explains how you can override the cut function or specify a mandatory relation to meet specific needs.
