[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-3414) fetch profiles

fetch profiles -------------- Key: HHH-3414 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3414 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: New Feature Components: core, metamodel Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.4 The concept of fetch profiles as we are discussing here is basically to allow users to dynamically affect the mapped fetching strategy for associations at runtime. Consider the following example: <class name="Person"> ... <set name="addresses" lazy="true" fetch="subselect" ...> ... </set> </class> <class name="Address"> ... </class> This follows the normal recommendation to map associations as lazy and use a dynamic fetching strategy (ala HQL/Criteria) to modify this lazy behavior at runtime. The fetaure discussed here would allow the same behavior for loading as well: <hibernate-mapping> <fetch-profile name="person-details"> <fetch path="Person.addresses" style="join"/> </fetch-profile> </hibernate-mapping> Or: <hibernate-mapping> <class name="Person"> ... <fetch-profile name="person-details"> <fetch path="addresses" style="join"/> </fetch-profile> <set name="addresses" lazy="true" fetch="subselect" ...> ... </set> </class> </hibernate-mapping> Now, doing: session.enableFetchProfile( "person-details" ).get( Person.class, 1 )... will load Person#1 as well as their addresses in a single joined query. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
