Signum Framework’s approach to liteness loading controls is both Explicit and Structural: • Explicit because it depends on you to determine if the entity is going to be retrieved or not (not transparent). • Structural because its defined in your entities relationships, not in the operations over them. Lite is the class that is used to indicate that a relationship is lite. This solution has two nice consequences: • Lazyness is part of an entity interface, so your business logic breaks at compile time and forces you to deal with it. (EntityControls however, know how to solve the situation) • This model allows sending entity graphs to the client application, where the DB is not available.
