Transparent Indirection

[grokita]

I'm currently using Toplink that provides Transparent Indirection for persistance. (If objects A and B are related, if I retrive object A, object B is not read from that database untill I try to access it.) This is a huge issue when the object relationships are complicated and a lot of data is in the database.
Will JBOSS3.0 cmp2.0 mechanizm provide something similar to transparent indirection?

I'm not sure why this would be called transparent indirection. JBoss cmp2 has several lazy-load features including
-cmr fields are not loaded until accessed
-the ability to divide the fields into load groups, where only the default load group is automatically loaded, the others wait till you need a field in them.

It is also quite careful about only writing changed data back to the db.
