Jira issue originally created by user gregoire_m:

Hi,

I'm working with Symfony 2.1, and I need to know if an association is nullable for a given entity (to know if a form field should be marked as 'required'). So I'd like to have a isAssociationNullable() method in the ClassMetadataInfo class, that should do the same thing that the isNullable() method does for fields.

You can see more information about the problem on the Symfony issue.

Thanks.

You can detect this from the join columns of the association.
