Hi Hugi,

I'm not sure if this will work for 4.0 (since earlier you said you are
using it), but this is what I'd use for 3.1:

https://github.com/mrg/cbe/blob/master/FetchingObjects/Aggregates/src/main/java/cbe/fetching/utilities/AggregateUtils.java

If you have A->>B, you'd construct a SelectQuery to fetch B's where toA =
your A object.  Basically, invert your query and count the matches.
Something like:

SelectQuery selectQuery = new SelectQuery(B.class);
selectQuery.setQualifier(ExpressionFactory.matchExp("toA", a));
int countOfB = AggregateUtils.count(dataContext, selectQuery);

Some other example uses:
