Begin Transaction - During Select --------------------------------- Key: HHH-5864 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5864 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Environment: Windows - Home Premium Reporter: VISHAL JAIN Priority: Blocker Attachments: hibernate_reference.pdf Assuming that I have to load entities - Hibernate will trigger a select statement on the underlying database. However when I try to do this as per your tutorial code, I always need to begin and commit a transaction. Don't you think this is an overhead on the underlying database and a performance overhead? EJBeans provide much cleaner way to handle these kind of scenarios.
