Marco Belladelli ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=637b480... ) *commented* on HHH-15876 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15876?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiM2RhNj... ) Re: Fetch type eager issue on entity with @DiscriminatorValue ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15876?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiM2RhNj... ) Hello Florence Watry ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=639ae0f... ) , thanks for the feedback and for the reproducer. I went through your code and I think the problem is the type of GraphSemantic you’re using. In your example you’re using the hint jakarta.persistence.fetchgraph which, if you read the javadoc for GraphSemantic#FETCH , is behaving correctly: You should try using jakarta.persistence.loadgraph ( GraphSemantic#LOAD ) which allows to specify which attributes to eagerly load while maintaining the configured fetch type for other attributes. Let me know if that helps.
