how to bypass lazy-loading configuration?

Hi,

if i have a lazy collection of let's say... some users,
is "group.getUsers()" the only way to force loading the users elements
or is there any magic way that could help me directly load the "group" eagerly,
and so bypass the lazy-loading configuration?

thanks

I am not sure if I can follow you here, but if you do not need lazy loading then turn it off, by setting lazy="false"; this way you whenever you get the group object users will be populated already.

I'm guessing that he wants to know if there's a way at run-time to turn off lazy loading. I'm afraid I don't know the answer...

Runtime fetching strategies in Hibernate include "fetch" in HQL or a FetchMode with Criteria.
