Yes, it's fetch groups. The store (pre-groups) took all this into account, however the lack of central management for some of it caused it to be pretty error prone. Those problems were related to Continuum's design, not anything to do with the use of JPOX (and something that'd be encountered in iBatis, or JPA, or anything else we used).

This makes sense if and only if the children are dependent. So, for build definitions - that's right. Profiles and such are all 'links' and so will be managed by the normal foreign key construct.

Thanks Brett!

I might need some help with Jpox when I hit this scenario. It would be nice to have some sort of 'lazy' intialization to happen when children hanging off key entities are retrieved, but not sure yet what Jpox offers (fetch groups?).

Cheers,
Rahul
