[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-980?page=co... ] Baptiste MATHUS commented on HHH-980: ------------------------------------- What's the meaning of lazy. I mean, I think I know it but, from what I understood, that's : Say you have A which contains a list of B * Retrieve A with a criteria query like session.createCriteria(A.class).setFetchMode("b",FetchMode.SELECT); * close the session * access a.getB() without receiving a LazyInitException ? I just re-tried this use case and received a LazyInitException... Maybe I've not understood something, I'll certainly post a thread in the forum so as this behaviour can be explained further. -- 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
