RISE automatically generates methods to list an entity along the relations in which it participates. Each entity "implementing" a foreign key will be provided with a method to search the entity based on that foreign key.

 

The list by foreign key methods are based on the List method stererotype and are named List<entity name>By<foreign key> (foreign key is sometimes referred to as relation node). The method ListDocumentByFolder and ListFolderByParent in the article on the List method are both examples of relation (foreign key) listings.

 

List by relation methods are generated solely for convenience: the programmer tends to need them!
