We're also creating a new LinkBusinessLayer class that contains 3 different business objects that form a many-to-many relationship (table 1, table 2, and the link table). This class will be used in code as if it were a single object, maintaining all of the relationships.

Hi Ben,

I'm evaluating SF for use with a new project. I understand you can't commit on any timeframes, but would you say the availability of the LinkBusinessLayer object is days...weeks...or months away??

After reviewing several frameworks, it's really surprising to me that this ultra-common scenario is rarely handled in an elegant manner...it's like many-to-many is not even considered during the design of most frameworks, but there's always some qwerky workaround.

Our app has a lot of relavent mm relationships...I can't imagine having to create and manage two objects (view/save) for each one of these: I like your framework so far, and I'm really looking forward to this enhancement.

TIA,

Rob

It is still going through the QA cycle, but the plan is to make it commercially available by the beginning of April.  We have been putting it through it's paces in hundreds of different environments through Unit testing to make sure that there aren't any issues. 

If this is holding you back we might be able to do something.  But it is coming out very soon.
