many-to-one lazy seems to be broken in 3.1.x -------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1435 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1435 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1.2 Reporter: Frank Grimes Assignee: Steve Ebersole Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.2.0.alpha2, 3.1.3 When trying to upgrade from hibernate-3.0.5 to hibernate-3.1.1, my many-to-one lazy associations stopped working. (they're being fetched right away) I noticed that the test for that functionality in org.hibernate.test.instrument.InstrumentTest was commented out at some point during 3.1 development. If I uncomment the assertion for the lazy loading of the many-to-one association, the test fails. The line in question is the following (line 160): //assertFalse(Hibernate.isPropertyInitialized(doc, "owner")); If this is/was a known issue, I didn't find any mention of it in either the forums or JIRA. It seems that both lazy="no-proxy" and lazy="proxy" fail on that test. (I tried modifying the mapping to see if maybe lazy="proxy" could be a possible migration path from the old lazy="true") Are there any plans to fix many-to-one lazy associations? FYI, I originally brought this issue up on the forums last week with no reply, hence the creation of this JIRA issue: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=954713 Thanks.
