Re: [hibernate-dev] embed-xml=false leaves you stuck

I was looking at the XML mapping support for Hibernate recently and have some questions/suggestions. One thing that seriously annoyed me was that if you do not have embed-xml="true" you can never get access to an association/ relationship in XML format. This means that I cannot have embed- xml="false" and load the relationship with a fetch join. Is there any particular reason I'm missing here on why it was implemented in this fashion? I know you have to worry about circular references, but isn't that something the user/app developer can worry about instead of Hibernate? I'll get into later why this is a problem for me...
