Lazy by context --------------- Key: HHH-6713 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6713 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: caching (L2) Reporter: Martin Krüger Sometimes I want to load references lazy and sometimes not. For example, if I read some object for a table, i need less information, if I look at the details. A workaround for this, is to implement lightweight entities, or fetch all referenced entities by calling a.getAllB().size() if attribute b were lazy. Would it be possible to steer lazy during runtime, rather then design time? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
