Hi,

Is there actually a way to replace an association with a corresponding, un-initialized proxy at runtime ?

We're getting big serialized graphs from a RIA client application we're partially merging into the database. After that the same graph is serialized and sent back to the client. Because the merge has not been done on the complete graph there's the risk of having two different versions of the same entity. In order to avoid this, and to limit the size of the serialized object, it would be very convenient to have a way to replace certain associations with a proxy object.

Somebody has an idea whether this is possible ?

Thanks !

Jan
