hi,

i want to initalise all my persisten objects after they are loaded from the db without calling s.th. like init(Object abc) seperatly. I could do so, but than I can't really take advantage of lazy-loading.
i.e. if I call init on every object in a resulting Collection within my finder-method, every object is retrieved from the database, not mentioning all related objects that have to be initalised, too. But using the hibernate-callbacks is not possible either, because I need to give a bunch of parameters to my init()-method, and I can not store any values within the hibernate-session, which is the only parameter of the callback methods.
what I want: a method that is called just in time the object is retrieved from the database supporting lazy-load. and i need to pass an object to the init()-method of the object.
the question is:
a) is onLoad() called when an object is actually retrieved from the database supporting lazy-load?
b) can I put some object into the hibernate session or is there another way to pass an object to this callback-method

thanks alot
marie

Give it a try, I'm interested.

No :-(
