LazyInitializationError on enabling query cache... -------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1523 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1523 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.0.5, 3.1 Environment: 3.0.1 and 3.1, HSQLDB and Oracle Reporter: Vikas Sasidharan Attachments: cache_issue.log, QueryCacheIssue.zip I have two domain objects - Employee and Department - and there is a 1:N relationship from Department to Employee. When I join fetch an Employee with its Department, without query cache enabled, it works fine. If I enable query cache for this same query, it bombs with a LazyInitializationException. Notes: 1) We get this error only if query cache is enabled. 2) We observed the same behaviour on both oscache and ehcache 3) Calling Hibernate.initialize() explicitly after firing the HQL seems to work. The initialization does not fire an extra query though (it seems to pick it from the cache). 4) Setting "lazy=false" on the "many-to-one" mapping also works. However, it wouldn't be acceptable.
