Suppose I have a nodeEntity that contains a Set of nodeEntity, as well as
an "owner" ref of nodeEntity.
Simple example:
public class nodeEntityBean (extends Entity)
{
public Set children;
public static final children_type=nodeEntity.class;
public nodeEntity owner;
... rest of CMP code here
}
When an instance is created of nodeEntity, when are the "owner" and
"children" sets populated? In a complex graph structure, a simple
instantiation might involve creating a huge set, because the owner node
has its own children and its own owner, all of which might need to be
populated, etc.
Is there a way to populate these lazily? Or is it already done that way?
