[xwiki-devs] Re lating classes in xwiki

Hi, Using xwiki class editor we can create classes and package them as application. Classes can also have an entity relationship among themselves. I have few question on how can we relate classes in xwiki. Let me start by posting a simple example: Say our application has two classes Product and Review. Relationship between them is a product can have multiple reviews. Now I can relate these classes in following way: 1. Create a product document and add the product object to it. All the reviews for that product are also added to that product document as review objects. Thus I have grouped reviews to a product. 2. Create a product document and add the product object to it. For each review for that product created a review document and add review object to that review document and make review document child of product document. Thus I have arranged reviews as children of a product. 3. In the review class add a db list field, which refers to objects of product class. While creating a review object choose the right product name from the list. Thus reviews are associated to a product. Thus you can see that in each of the three ways I have related two classes. Only difference is different ways of storing them. (again presentation still can be same and I am here interested in optimal storage strategy only). So I would like to know which of the above three is the best way of relating classes. Are there any more ways of achieving the relationship I talked initially? I would like to know from people who have been developing complex applications involving relationship between several xwiki classes as what would be the best way of arranging the use case just described.
