@NotFound(action=NotFoundAction.IGNORE) results in EAGER loading for @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) field ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3917 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3917 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Vlasov Igor Hello I try to use @org.hibernate.annotations.NotFound(action=NotFoundAction.IGNORE) annotation to avoid of throwing an exception IN @JoinColumn(name = "UR_ID", referencedColumnName = "UR_ID") @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) @org.hibernate.annotations.NotFound(action=NotFoundAction.IGNORE) @Basic(optional=true) private UserRole role; Then it results me to EAGER loading of this field. Throw days of debuging i have found that: 1. @org.hibernate.annotations.NotFound results in: isNullable()=true for org.hibernate.type.ManyToOneType 2. in org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl and method internalLoad i can see: LoadEventListener.LoadType type = nullable ? LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE : eager ? LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_EAGER : LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_LAZY; Threrefore we have LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE type of loading my relation. !!! and in class org.hibernate.event.LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE I can see setAllowProxyCreation(false) !!!! 3. in org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultLoadEventListener in line 218 there is a condition: if ( options.isAllowProxyCreation() ) { return createProxyIfNecessary( event, persister, keyToLoad, options, persistenceContext ); } else { return load(event, persister, keyToLoad, options); } In my case LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE.isAllowProxyCreation() ==false !! and it results in LOADING of Object !!! Can we set LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE.isAllowProxyCreation() to true ? org.hibernate.event.LoadEventListener.INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE = new LoadType("INTERNAL_LOAD_NULLABLE") .setAllowNulls(true) .setAllowProxyCreation(false) .setCheckDeleted(false) .setNakedEntityReturned(false);
