[jsr338-experts] fetch joins with ON conditions

We still have the open issue http://java.net/jira/browse/JPA_SPEC-40
regarding problems with fetch joins and ON conditions.

At this point, I am inclined to remove support for ON conditions
with fetch joins, since with the proposal for the more general support
for prefetching in terms of fetch graphs, fetch joins become less
important in general.

This would entail removal from the JPQL BNF as well as removal of
methods on the Fetch interface.

Can you please let me know whether you support this change or not.

thanks,

-Linda
