Dear Hibernate Users,

Can someone tell me what is the default fetching mode for hibernate and which is more important is there a way to change it somehow for all the entities in a single configuration file?

Thank you in advance, Peter B.

Hi,

The reason why I am asking because right now we are porting from toplink to hibernate. In toplink the default behavior was the lazy loading but it seems that the hibernate by default does eager fetching. We would like to avoid to change it by putting an annotation on all the relations because we have a lot.

thnx: BP

AFAIK, unless you are using Hibernate as your JPA provider, the default fetch mode is lazy (JPA's default fetch mode is eager).
