Fault loading

After much pain and trouble, and ten days of effort, I have made no additional progress on the "fault loading" technique. I was never able to find any reference to it online, no documentation and no examples for how to do this using EJB 3 technology.

I have to conclude that it doesn't exist or that it incredible amounts of expertise are required to use it.

Despite working with the OpenJPA crew, I cannot get fetch groups to work in a transactional context. This is becoming expensive in man-hours and I find myself reconsidering how to do these tests. If I press forward, the test code takes aeons to run. If I try to correct the problem, I may never finish.

Neither of these project communities are very active during the weekend, which makes matters worse. Although I haven't fallen into complete dispair over this recent lack of progress, I can definitely see it from here. Dispair, that is.
