Nested JPA object in process

[sudhishp]

We are developing a loan processing system with activiti, all the process is done using workflow
As the loan is having reference to employment ,income, liability etc, can we have the loan entity reference as process variable.Can we access the reference object like inome through the link or need to create reference for each object.


What will be the impact of performance of this,as the object and child objects will be large.If not what is the alternative?

You can use the dependent objects. We simply use the entitymanager to fetch the object when it's not available. From that point on, it's a regular JPA object, and thus the regular JPA performance rules apply.
