I guess the question is whether there is a generic way to find the entities which contain
a certain entity.
Maybe we could even do that via Lucene!?
but we aren't lazy right?
Of course not ;-) Not saying that we shouldn't investigate it.
and I don't see
why we should require to define relations redundantly on both
entities.
Because in so many cases it just makes sense to have bidirectional associations. Often the
use of
uni-directional association is based on some not required "minimalistic
thinking"
