[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] Re: Dynamic fetch plan with navigations

[fs5@xxxxxxx (Frank Schwarz)]

Obviously, EclipseLink is jumping over the first relationship.

Doing

Query query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p");
query.setHint("eclipselink.join-fetch", "p.friends");
query.setHint("eclipselink.join-fetch", "p.friends.friends");

will prevent the exception. 

Is there also a hint to force outer-joins?
