Hi, I have two entities with a simple OneToMany relationship mapping. The parent ("VolaConfigList") contains a simple collection of childs ("List"), which I have defined as this: | @Basic(fetch = FetchType.EAGER) | @OneToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REMOVE }) | @JoinColumn(name = "vcd_vcl_id") | public List<VolaConfigDetail> getDetailList() { | return detailList; | } | When I use the parent object as detached object I get a org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException when trying to access the list of childs. This makes me wonder, because the EAGER type should fetch the collection upon retrieving the parent object already? In any cirumstances I must use this object detached, so I'm looking for a way to handle this problem with EJB instruments.
