Re: validation of referenced objects

...
     I suggest that
somebody that really needs them gives a try and
 implements them cleanly. I have some ideas about that, but
 unfortunately I don't have the time to do it myself. 
 Me neither. Maybe I have to do it soon because I use references
 a lot and I don't think I can rip them out now. 
 Yes please. 
 Could you please provide some experience about your modeling with
 Magritte? If you use automatic form generation you need to model
 relationships, right? How do you model cases where objects reference
 each other? 
I rarely use relationships with Magritte. Pier, for example, doesn't  
use a relationships, except maybe for the PRStructureDescription that  
represents a link to a different page in the system.

For most (if not all) applications editors mostly consisted of a  
bunch of basic input fields representing properties of one or more  
domain objects. Relationships are mostly hand-coded in Smalltalk as  
they require sophisticated navigation facilities that cannot be  
modeled using a generic approach easily.
