Hi,
I have an annotated entity class which has an embedded object representing on of the columns. I'm getting a org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException when I try to access that property but I can't figure out how to specify that I want that fetched eagerly.
Here's my code -
Code:
@Entity
@Table(name="ADDRESSBOOK_CONTACT")
public class Contact ......
...
.....
@Embedded
    @AttributeOverrides(            
            @AttributeOverride(name="number", column = @Column(name="PHONE_NUMBER"))
    )
    private PhoneNumber phoneNumber;
    public PhoneNumber getPhoneNumber() {
        return phoneNumber;
    }
    public void setPhoneNumber(PhoneNumber phoneNumber) {
        this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
    }
 And my PhoneNumber class
Code:
@Embeddable
public class PhoneNumber .......
When I call getPhoneNumber() outside the scope of the active session I get the following LIE
Code:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet messenger threw exception                                                                                                                                            
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy - no Session

        at org.hibernate.proxy.AbstractLazyInitializer.getImplementation(AbstractLazyInitializer.java:150)

        at com.hunsley.messenger.addressbook.Contact$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$71cd214c.getPhoneNumber(<generated>) 
How do I tell hibernate that I want the phoneNumber property fetched eagerly? If it were not embedded I would use the @Basic() annotation and specify the fetch mode but there is no such property on the Embedded or Embeddable annotations.
Many thanks
John
