Well, it is not a solution for all of my cases. Sometimes I have
objects with fields that are objects with fields... or arrays...
Using the methodizer would get require a lot of application side
coding and have quite some performance impact over the other
alternative.
I will take a look around to better understand the performance impact
of what I am talking about. The way I imagine thinks working, it
shouldn't be any/much... but I might be wrong.
Have fun,
Paulo
