Your best bet is to peruse the higher-level unit tests. They have at
least all the possible mappings, and most of the interaction. It does
help tremendously if you're up-to-date generally with the basics of O/R
mapping.
One thing to keep in mind is that that Glorp has two things that may
take you by surprise and still a bit of bugs. The two things are:
- An object cache that still doesn't work 100%. It is good to at least
reset it (GlorpSession>>initializeCache or something) before each query.
- Queried, traversed objects and their (mapped) transitive closure are
all automatically registered. Which means that usually you only need to
GlorpSession>>register: newly created objects, Glorp will persist the
rest for you as needed.
