Agreed. The problem with fetch plan (despite it being an excellent feature otherwise), it does not have a exclusion set. removeField() does not do that exactly. The logic of 'fetch' checks a field for inclusion. I believe we should upgrade to have an explicit excludeField(..) sort of semantics. Of course, explicit exclusion should trump inclusion. That will address the issue of excluding few fields from default fetch group rather than creating a new one from scratch for large objects. ----- Pinaki Poddar Chair, Apache OpenJPA Project -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/FetchPlan-question-tp6577007p6583837.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
