[hibernate-dev] *-to-one associations and @NotFound

As a result of fixing HHH-12436 <https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12436>;, some eager *-to-one associations that were loaded using FetchMode.JOIN may instead be loaded using FetchMode.SELECT, and vice-versa. In some cases, @NotFound behavior is different depending on the FetchMode for the association. The reason why FetchMode may change due to HHH-12436 <https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12436> is that the ForeignKeyDirection of some *-to-one associations were incorrect. Correcting the ForeignKeyDirection will result in a different AssociationKey, which may ultimately affect the FetchMode Hibernate assigns to an association. My hope is to resolve the inconsistencies before fixing HHH-12436 <https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12436>;, so it does not result in a change in application behavior. I've created a Google Doc to document the inconsistencies and to make it easier to discuss how to go about resolving them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o3Q6tYD5jjxC6Ok7vBYzxRGsixpG46p-5zDiD...
