    JPQL syntax question - entity bean loading

      I have an entity bean X similar to the following:

      @Entity
      @SequenceGenerator(name = "FRAUD_CASENUMBER_SEQ", sequenceName = "FRAUD_CASENUMBER_SEQ")
      public class Tblcase implements Serializable {
      // LOBS
       @Lob
       @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
       public String fraudfindingnotes;
      .
      .
      //REGULAR FIELDS
      public BigDecimal mgmtrvdother;
      .
      .
      //LOOKUP TABLES
       @OneToOne
       @JoinColumn(name = "CHRFRAUDCODE", referencedColumnName = "CHRFRAUDCODE", insertable = false, updatable = false)
       public TblmatrixFraudcode tblmatrixFraudcode;
      
      @OneToOne
       @JoinColumn(name = "NAME", referencedColumnName = "NAME", insertable = false, updatable = false)
       public Tbluser tbluser;
      
       @OneToOne
       @JoinColumn(name = "CASETYPECD", referencedColumnName = "CASETYPECD", insertable = false, updatable = false)
       public Tblcasetyperef tblcasetyperef;
      .
      .
      .
      .
      }
      
      
      
      
      


      What I want to do is return a list of the above entity bean BUT I want it to only hold the PK, AND a few one-to-one fields instead of the all the fields in the entity bean - I dont need complete entities up front; The issue is that a select * statement for the entity takes way to long when I have many rows. When I remove the lobs from the select statement, the execution time is reduced measurably - and no, there is no table scanning going on.

      Does someone have an example of syntax for a jpql statment that will allow me to select specific fields - some fields being one-to-one relationships, using an outer join. The statement will run and load the above entity bean with those selected fields so that I have a list of entity beans. Later on, when a row is selected by the user, I can load the full entity bean for the PK he selected
