Spring/Hibernate
We are using annotations & AOP, not xml so we don't have and don't want a hibernate config xml.
I can't change the entities because they are auto generated from the database so I can't just tag the entity with @Fetch.

How can I change the fetch mode pragmatically? The select we are using contains no joins so I can't toss it in there that I know of. It looks like this. My HQL isn't very good:

select * from q where q.y = specifiedId

Clue? Is there an annotation I missed somewhere? Some snytax I can use to modify the above HQL?

Here is an example of another way one may use HQL to retrieve with eager fetch. In response to my own question, one may do this:

@Autowired
EntityManager em;
.
.
.
String id = "1234";
Query q = em.createQuery("select * from thingamajig t fetch all properties where t.id =: id");

q.setParameter(id);

Type thingamabob = (cast to what ever type) q.getSingleResult()

Looking at the above, there should be a way to use the entity manager instead of a query.

I should be able to:

/*
Some code here to set the fetch mode to eager
*/
SomeType thing = (cast to some type) em.find(thingamajig.class,someKindOfId);

Anyone know how this can be done? This would simplify a lot of our code.
