Description

Hello!
I've been through this ticket alert that Django relationships are wrong.
A simple example:
An owner has an address.
A house has an address.

The classes would be:

class Owner(models.Model):

address = models.ForeignKey(Address)
#or better
# address = models.OneToOneField(Address)


class House(models.Model):

address = models.ForeignKey(Address)
#or better
# address = models.OneToOneField(Address)

class Address(models.Model):

street = models.CharField(max_length=100)
number = models.IntegerField(default=0)

This is the correct mapping following the logic of object-orientation, but this mapping does not allow remove related objects by CASCADE.
According to the Django doc, the mapping is inverse:

class Owner(models.Model):

#other fields

class House(models.Model):

#other fields

class Adress(models.Model):

street = models.CharField(max_length=100)
number = models.IntegerField(default=0)
owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner)
house = models.ForeignKey(House)

The big problem is that this mapping in the form of owner the address form is shown with a select of houses, and in the form of owner is shown a form address with a select of owners.
Look, I want to register an owner and his address, this is end of the registration.
After i want register a house, register your address and there can select the owner to associate home with owner.

I urge to carefully read the Hibernate reference manual to understand how relationships should be made in Django:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/annotations/3.5/reference/en/html/entity.html#entity-mapping-association

I would like to examine this problem because i can not remove an owner and remove the house and address by CASCADE, and remove a house and its address by CASCADE using my firts example for mapping class.

Regards.
