Would that be possible to add lazy initialization to components or one-to-one elements?
I'm looking for functionality similiar to that in JAWS (JBoss) that allowed for mapping certain group of properties to initialize lazily. In my cases I have classes describing images. I used blobs for storing their binary data, but since blobs are so diffcult to handle consistently, I'm considering 'binary'. But that also means that for every object I have to carry that data no matter if database driver could handle them smartly as blobs. The fact about those image classes is also that binary data is used pretty rarely, say once a thousand accesses. So the idea would be to lazy initialize the binary data. Of course it would be hard to do for a single property, but it could be possible if property was wrapped in a component.
