All,

Setup: JPA 1.0 jars, TransactionType=JTA, TransactionAttribute=NOT-SUPPORTED for EJB3 SLSB

Issue: using EJBQL, if just one "left outer join fetch", the object and association are both initialized. If an additional join fetch is added, no association is initialized and I got LazyInitialization error when accessing.

e.g. select a from A a left outer join fetch a.B b
=> both a and b are fetched and initialized.
select a from A a left outer join fetch a.B b left outer join fetch b.C c
=> all a, b, c are fetched as shown in SQL displayed, however only a is initialized, thus accessing b gives an LazyInilization error.

Could any shed some light on this one?

Thanks,
- John
