Saving

In the assignment controller, there is an assignment, a section, and rubrics involved with it. My question is how do you know which object to save when they all are associated with one another.... Rubric has list of assignments assignment has list of rubrics section has a list of assignments... How do you know which one you're going to save. As in, should u call the assignmentDao, sectionDao. etc etc. Saving the section solves my problem, but it looks wierd to save a section when you are creating an assignment.

Rubric has list of assignments

assignment has list of rubrics

section has a list of assignments...
