@ShallowReference for properties

[croffler]

It would be nice if the @ShallowReference annotation could be used on a property.
I have some entities that have a large graph (many relations). In many cases I would like for Javers to just save the ID's of the embedded entities. If I use @Diffignore the relationship info is lost.

agreed that it could be useful, unfortunately, implementation would not be easy (ShallowReference is now a JaversType)

We need this issue solved to use Javers in our company. Do you guys have plans to solve this one? If so, is there a release date planned?

[bartoszwalacik]

I dont think that anyone from JaVers core team is going to take care about this issue soon

You can contribute a PR but i'm affraid that it won't be easy one

What I have done for now is to use @Diffignore.

Most of the Entities we have, those properties (associations) can't be
changed once the Entity is created. If we need to get the actual info for
those properties we can retrieve them from the RDBMS.
