Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate#isPropertyInitialized vs Hibernate#isInitialized

Oops, sorry for the confusion. They should have referred to Hibernate#isInitialized. I'll fix and clarify below...

Which are your referring to? Because in some cases you genuinely seem to be referring to `#initialize`, but then you keep referring to its return value - `#initialize` has no return.

IIUC, after fixing HHH-11161 [1], if an extra-lazy collection is accessed on an enhanced entity, the collection property is set to an uninitialized PersistentCollection and calling Hibernate#isPropertyInitialized( collectionfieldName ) will return true, even though the collection itself is uninitialized. I would have expected that false would be returned. I've added a comment to the issue and asked Luis about it. Luis has pointed out the 3 stages of an extra-lazy collection on an enhanced entity. I've listed them below and added my understanding of what Hibernate#isInitialized and Hibernate#isPropertyInitialized will return in each instance: 1) the attribute is not loaded at all; Hibernate.isPropertyInitialized( enhancedEntity, "extraLazyCollection" ) returns false; (I am skipping an example of calling Hibernate.isInitialized( enhancedEntity.getExtraLazyCollection() ) here because by calling enhancedEntity.getExtraLazyCollection(), the property becomes initalized with an uninitialized PersistentCollection, so it will be in the state described as 2). 2) the attribute is loaded, but the elements are not loaded; Hibernate.isPropertyInitialized( enhancedEntity, "extraLazyCollection" ) returns true, because the property is initialized to a PersistentCollection (even though the PersistentCollection itself is uninitialized). Hibernate.isInitialized( enhancedEntity.getExtraLazyCollection() ) returns false. 3) the attribute is loaded and the elements are loaded. Hibernate.isPropertyInitialized( enhancedEntity, "extraLazyCollection" ) returns true. Hibernate.isInitialized( enhancedEntity.getExtraLazyCollection() ) returns true. Opinions about the inconsistency in 2)? Is this a bug in the code or in the Javadoc?
