FetchType.Eager with FetchMode.JOIN leads to infinite loop. ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7054 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7054 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.6.10, 3.5.6 Environment: Fedora Linux 15 2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64 Sun Java JDK 1.7.0_01-b08 Apache Maven 3.0.3 MySQL 5.5.18 Reporter: Cavan Morris Attachments: TestHibernate.tar.gz A bidirectional, OneToMany User/UserRole relationship is created with FetchType.EAGER and FetchMode.JOIN. Pulling the User object from the database results in an infinite loop of identical SQL statements being run. The process appears to seg fault once memory has been exhausted. Changing FetchMode to SELECT solves the issue. Please extract the attached file and read the README.txt file for information on running the test. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
