Often this question is asked that what is the difference between\u00a0isNew() and\u00a0toBeAdded() methods of the Mbo. Before I explain the difference let me tell you what these methods are –<\/p>\n

\n
• isNew() – Returns whether the mbo is new or not. true, if the mbo is new (i.e. created by calling add() or insert() methods), otherwise false.<\/li>\n
• toBeAdded() – Returns whether the Mbo is to be added to storage<\/li>\n
• toBeDeleted() – Returns whether the Mbo is to be deleted from storage<\/li>\n
• toBeSaved() – Returns whether the object need to be saved to persistent storage. This will also check child objects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All these method are in the psdi.mbo.Mbo class and have a return type as\u00a0Boolean.<\/p>\n

  The difference is explained using the scenarios in the below table<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
