[Flow] Access to related object in One-to-many relation

[Gianluca Strafella]

Hi Matteo,
in your model "Address", you can add on property "contact", annotation 
"@lazy"

/**
* @lazy
*/
protected $contact;

In this way, entity "Contact" will be loaded only if you use it (in 
example in your fluid template). So, if in your template you access to 
property "contact" as  "address.contact", this will be loaded.
If you get a Address from repository and you don't retrieve property 
"contact", Contact with its addresses, it will be not loaded. So, you 
can retrieve only an Address object, without load its Contact.

Regards,
Gianluca
