Hi!

I have a bidirectional one-to-one relation between two classes.

Id like to make this relation lazy, because I dont want to load second class until I call getClass() method in the first class.


Can I do that?
If answer is yes, how?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this. You can however, use an automatic lazy object proxy for the class that you want to load lazily. I think it describes this in the doc.

Proxy the one-to-one "child".
<class name="ChildOneToOneClass" proxy="ProxyInterface">
See 4.1.3 of hibernate ref guide

note that this only works for the direction marked constrained="true". Otherwise we have to hit the database to determine if the object is null.
