Hi Lon
Not sure if this is best practice but I created two Cayenne object entities
where the first excludes the blob and the second only has the blob.
Then I either:
1. Added a relationship attribute in the first pointing to the second, based
on a 1:1 relationship in the DbEntity.
2. Or I manually added a method to the first, to fetch the blob with
something like:
Cayenne.objectForPK( context, ImageBlob.class,
Cayenne.longPKForObject( this ) );

Subject: Best Practice for blobs
Hey all,
I have a blob column in an entity, but I don't want to always actually load
the blob, just on demand (but I still want to be able to see the other
attributes in the entity). Any best practice here to have the blob be lazy?
Thanks,
Lon
