Annotation Type BatchFetch

@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface BatchFetch

A BatchFetch annotation can be used on any relationship mapping, (OneToOne, ManyToOne, OneToMany, ManyToMany, ElementCollection, BasicCollection, BasicMap). It allows the related objects to be batch read in a single query. Batch fetching can also be set at the query level, and it is normally recommended to do so as all queries may not require batching.
