[jpa-spec users] [jsr338-experts] Re: fetch joins with ON conditions

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

  I prefer an approach where a syntax (such as
EntityGraph/Subgraph/FetchPlan or whatever whatever other moniker)
describes a subest or view of the entire domain model and then the subset
specification is applied on persistent operations such as find(), merge(),
refresh() etc. Such cascaded behavior/concept already exists in the spec,
we can make that behavior more sophisticated. This approach will provide
an unified as well as extensible means to grow the spec, imo.
  I do not prefer the approach where query takes the dual role of selection
and cascading behavior for load via ON (or, for that matter, FETCH JOIN)
keywords in JPQL.

They won't be able to support it via the Criteria APIs however.
