Hi Esteban,

thanks!

I think the solution of Bernat will not be enough for me.
I added the class methods isVoyageRoot to the root objects (like trip,
country and so on).

But I have instances which should never be persistent, e.g. the
country I mentioned. The Country has currencies and expense rates and
this is a lot of stuff...this should be only transient in the image.

The transient country is referenced by persistent instances of trip.
(countrie does naturally not point to trips)

Trip (persistant) -> Country (transient)

If I try to save a trip, voyage at some point enters
>>rawReference: description:
and there, it looks whether anObject (a country) isNew:
isNew means the other object, the country has an _id (mongo id).

The country does not have an id and for this reason, voyage tries to
make it persistent although its class has isVogageRoot false.
And than the system enters a point where it tries to make so many
objects persistent that the image does not respond anymore.

So, my question is: is it possible to define
"In class trip, there is an inst var country -> voyage please save
only a symbol here"
and
"voyage, if loading a trip, for inst var country, do shting"

Sure, I could save symbols within the trips country inst var all the time
and get the country it if needed, but it would be nicer if voyage coud
do that for me .-)
