I have a need, for a given set of queries for a container-managed bean, that only certain fields be loaded. Some fields would contain entire files, so I want to limit the results to beans where these large fields are not loaded. Is there a way to do this in JBoss? Weblogic has a "field-group" concept, kind of like "load-group" with JBoss, except that the field-group can be associated with a particular query; it looks like in JBoss load-group's may only be associated with read-ahead strategies and the entities themselves, but not directly with a given query. Anyone know how to do this? - Tim View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4165451#...
