Project overview
The latest version of the specification is adding support for defining Entity Graph templates that can be used for fetch groups, load groups.
Concepts
Entity graphs are subgraphs of the entity model metadata. The entity graph contains metamodel representations of a set of the entity classes' attributes and metamodel representations of related entity classes. A constructed entity graph can be used as a template for applying operations like attribute loading.
Requirements
Implement the functionality and metadata processing as defined in the specification.
