Referencing another SQLContainer; how to use?

Hi,

I’m trying to use this feature. Reading paragraph 9.6 from the Vaadin book, didn’t make things more clear, sorry!

Consider two tables SOURCE and TARGET. SOURCE has a foreign key named TARGET_FK while TARGET has its primary key called TARGET_ID. TARGET_FK in TARGET is refering to TARGET_ID in TARGET.

Two SQLContainers SourceC and TargetC contain the contents of the tables SOURCE and TARGET respectively.

Now SOURCE.addReference(TargetC,“TARGET_FK”,“TARGET_ID”) gives a reference!

After this I don’ t understand the clue of this feature! Can someone elucidate on the possibilities and use of this feature, please?

Regards,
Gerard
