Hi Daniel,

I am not sure if I understand the question. Let me pose the question in my
own words:
You have a 1:n relation. If you save an object on the "1" side, the related
objects on the "n" side get saved.
If you are on the "n" side, why is the "1" side not saved ?

The "1" side is the side where no foreign key is defined (just the primary
key of the objects)
The "n" side is the side where objects hold an additional foreign key which
references the primary key on the "1" side.
I would think this behaviour is logical, as otherwise there might be more
objects saved as you want (all the other objects which are related to the
"1" side)

If you have a real 1:1 behaviour, you can put the foreign key on the other
side, then you can "save through" from the other side. As far as I know
(which is not very far in this area), there is no way how you can define a
"real" 1:1 relation, so you cannot expect to get saves on both sides
automatically.

If you do not have too many  relations of this sort, a solution would be to
override the save(..) methods in the persistent Objects.
