ArmetizFormExtensionBundle
==========================

This bundle add a new Form type named "entity_ajax".

It looks like the default "entity" type, but it loads only associated entities.

#### Example
A Book is link to User throught "owner" property.

If you are using the "entity" type on the BookType to display the "owner" property.
The form will load all the "users" to render the page.

With the "entity_ajax" type, the form will load only the current "owner". In this case, you are free
to load further "users" via AJAX or something else.
