@ManyToOne results in default outer join eager fetch, should be lazy -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-430 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-430 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug Components: documentation, binder Reporter: Christian Bauer Documentation says: <sect3> <title>Association fetching</title> <para>You have the ability to either eagerly or lazily fetch associated entities. The <literal>fetch</literal> parameter can be set to <literal>FetchType.LAZY</literal> or <literal>FetchType.EAGER</literal>. <literal>EAGER</literal> will try to use an outer join select to retrieve the associated object, while <literal>LAZY</literal> is the default and will only trigger a select when the associated object is accessed for the first time. EJBQL also has a <literal>fetch</literal> keyword that allows you to override laziness when doing a particular query. This is very useful to improve performance and is decided on a use case to use case basis.</para> </sect3> However, a simple @ManyToOne without any other attributes results in an eager join outer fetch. -- 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
