Lazy Initialization: many-to-one

Ricardo · **Posted:** Sat Oct 18, 2003 3:44 pm

When I have a one-to-many relationship, I can mark a collection as lazy=true, then the collection will not be automatically populated when the object containing the collection is retrieved from the database.

but, if I have a many-to-one relationship ?

Code:

<class name="hibernate.PlayerVO" table="PLAYER">
    <id name="id" column="player_id" type="long" unsaved-value="null">
      <generator class="sequence"/>
    </id>

<many-to-one name="team" class="hibernate.TeamVO" column="team_id" />

</class>

When I retrieve the "Player", the "Team" will be automatically populated!

Can I do a "Lazy Initialization" for a many-to-one relationship?

thanks
