Gavin King ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16729 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16729?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNzU5ZT... ) Re: Instantiate a proxy of the correct class for ManyToOne associated to an inheritance hierarchy ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16729?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNzU5ZT... ) I mean if you want to just always load an association eagerly, that’s easy to do. I don’t really know why you were using @Proxy(lazy=FALSE) for that! You can use @ManyToOne(fetch=EAGER) to tell Hibernate to load eagerly and eliminate the proxy, and then {{@Fetch(SELECT)}}if you want to use a separate select instead of a join. And this is much better because it’s more granular.
