[b]Hibernate version:[/b]
2.1.7

I'm trying to understand on how hibernate caches objects within a given session. If I use the criteria object with different eager fetch then there is a db hit to the database each time. e.g

select * from
Event event
left outer join fetch event.user
where
event.id = 2"

select * from
Event event
where
event.id = 2"

will result in two different sql statements being executed. I would have expected the second query to be not executed. Is this expected?

this is expected, what you need is query cache
