many-to-one with property-ref run into an recursive issue --------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2766 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2766 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.5, Informix 10 Reporter: René Fuchs With many-to-one and property-ref, hibernate resolve always the whole referenced entity. So we have alway an eager issue. If the resolved entity includes one or more other references to non primary keys, these entities will be also resolved and so on. In a big legacy database, if I read only one entity, I get 100 selects or a very very long joined sql (fetch="join"). I think the problem ist located in: org.hibernate.type.EntityType public Object resolve(Object obj, SessionImplementor sessionimplementor, Object obj1) -- 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
