+1 -- I don't think that should be valid. Conceptually, it makes no sense. I'm wondering if that came from a contributor that was simply trying to make it LAZY, but didn't understand how to properly do that with annotations...

The mapping that causes the problem has the following annotations: @Id @ManyToOne(...) @JoinColumns(...) @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY) Is it really legal to combine @ManyToOne and @Basic? Those seem "at odds". My guess is that the legacy binding code simply did not validate for this. Wdyt? _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
