Relationships with ids, not entities

Similarly with JPA you can use @ManyToOne and @OneToMany annotations and specify the targetEntity element.

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/persistence/OneToMany.html#targetEntity--

Currently, it's not possible to define relationships in such way, but it might be a good idea to add targetEntity attribute to relationship definition.

Has there been any progress on this issue? This really is a show stopper for me.

How would you model recursive relationships, for instance friends in a profile?

I'd love to see a PR or at least some hints where to start.
My project depends heavily on big data and dozen of relationships. There is no way to respond with all data included. I need to load them lazily as needed.

Hello @mohlek,

I'm refactoring (more like rewriting) parts of Katahrsis and I think some of the updates will help you.
It should be ready by next week but it will take another week or two (optimistic) to make a release.

I also do think that you can model change how you model your data so you can solve your problem. Have you tried looking differently at the data and the relationships?

Well I have chosen jsonapi because of the relationships. Everything else would destroy all reasons to use jsonapi in my opinion. For now I can live with that. I can request the children on my own. But it would be an awesome feature for the near future.

This is a non-standard JSONapi behavior. In addition, this is not really in katharsis's manifest
