Re: Is there a way to cancel/destroy a RequestContext or EditorDriver while editing?

You don't need to decide whether you call persist(), or remove(),
until the user decides to save or delete the entity, so you can use a
RequestContext to start editing, and later, depending on what the user
decides to do, call either persist() or remove() in that same
RequestContext.

Slightly inefficient I suppose, as the changes made to the Entity will
still get sent to the server even when calling remove(). If you don't
want to send the changes when calling remove, simply do not fire() the
context you are editing in (effectively throwing it away), and create
a second context to call remove() on.
