Determine resource references in generic way to remove from nosql database

[Alexander Kley]

Hi all,

we have running a DSTU2 based client server system with mongoDB.
Now, we have to find a way to identify resource references in a generic way to implement a mechanism to be able to remove a resource from mongoDB like referential integrity cascading on sql databases.

In order to formulate my question in more detail, some example:

Patient A has a AllergyIntolerance B. 
If you want to remove the Patient A, you have to remove the AllergyIntolerance B before, otherwise the Patient reference in B is invalid. Basically it is possible on nosql, because there are no constraint mechanisms.

Provides HAPI any abilities to determine this on generic way to identify references, like B.getAllReferences -> List<IdDT>

Has anyone done this before?

Cheers,

Alex
