Because of the variety of ways people implement back-end storage we decided not to address that. Plus I was running out of my allocated pages :/
Personally OSIV has always made me nervous, the primary reason being that na�vely-written
JSP pages could end up performing a huge number of back-end queries leading to very slow performance.
If you're the only one programming the app this isn't as much of a concern, but it can lead to headaches when multiple people are banging on (potentially) lazy-loaded collections.
It's one of those double-edged swords that's really hard to "get right". I don't recall what the end result of that original thread was, either.
