- - ### Uses of DataObject in org.apache.cayenne

    Classes in org.apache.cayenne that implement DataObject
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `BaseDataObject` Base implementation of `DataObject`, have no assumption about how data is actually stored.
    `class` | `CayenneDataObject` Implementation of `DataObject` that uses `Map` to store object fields.
    `class` | `HybridDataObject` This data object like `CayenneDataObject` uses `Map` to store generic attributes, only difference is that this Map will be created lazily at first write, thus reducing memory penalty if possible.

    --- | ---
    `List<? extends DataObject>` | BaseDataObject.`setToManyTarget(String relName, Collection<? extends DataObject> values, boolean setReverse)` Sets the relationships to the specified `DataObject` objects.

    Methods in org.apache.cayenne with parameters of type DataObject
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description

    `void` | BaseDataObject.`addToManyTarget(String relName, DataObject value, boolean setReverse)`
    `void` | DataObject.`addToManyTarget(String relationshipName, DataObject target, boolean setReverse)` Adds an object to a to-many relationship.
    `void` | BaseDataObject.`removeToManyTarget(String relName, DataObject value, boolean setReverse)`
    `void` | DataObject.`removeToManyTarget(String relationshipName, DataObject target, boolean unsetReverse)` Removes an object from a to-many relationship.
    `protected void` | BaseDataObject.`setReverseRelationship(String relName, DataObject val)` Initializes reverse relationship from object `val` to this object.
    `void` | BaseDataObject.`setToOneTarget(String relationshipName, DataObject value, boolean setReverse)`
    `void` | DataObject.`setToOneTarget(String relationshipName, DataObject value, boolean setReverse)` Sets to-one relationship to a new value.
    `protected void` | BaseDataObject.`unsetReverseRelationship(String relName, DataObject val)` Removes current object from reverse relationship of object `val` to this object.
