ObjectExtender User's Guide and Reference
Lite Collections are useful for retrieving a subset of the
information from a particular object in the database without instantiating
each object that is retrieved. An example of the use of lite
collections can be found within the Bank sample model. Two lite
collections were created for the VapAccount class.
The lite collections were created as follows:
- Launch the Model Browser.
- Select Bank from the Models view.
- Select VapAccount from the Model Classes.
- Select Edit Class from the Classes menu.
This launches the Class Editor.

- Click on the Lite Collections tab.
- Click New.
This launches a dialog.

- Type byCustomer for the name of the lite collection.
- Select OK.
- Select Customer from the Filter property
menu.
- Select balance and accountNumber, the properties to
be retrieved, from the Class properties.
- Select Suppports Packeting if you want packeting turned
on.
- Select Apply.
- Select OK.
