[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1740?page=c... ] Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-1740: ------------------------------------- I assume you then are asking why the following line fails: Assert.assertFalse("HHH-1740: many-to-one proxy should not be loaded yet", Hibernate.isPropertyInitialized(hia, "folder2") ); Well, that is a bogus assertion. You need to look at what it means for a *property* to be considered non-initialized... Your folder2 is a proxy. The Document.folder2 property *is* initialized; it just happens to be initialized to an uninitialized proxy; but regardless, the field itself is initialized. -- 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
