Hibernate version: 3.1rc2

For some reason, when I try to load (session.load) an object by default hibernate creates a proxy for h. Is there a way to dissable the default behavior to do non-proxy (throw an exception instead) other than putting

@Proxy(lazy=false)

for every class? It worked but it is a lot of busy work to go thru each class and do that.

BTW: I also tried to put it on superclass and that did not work.

Thanks,
Alex

session.get() doesn't use proxies the same way load() does.

The only difference between the two, beside the proxy issue, is that load() will throw an Exception if the Object isn't found and get() will simply return NULL.

I was just surprised thathibernate would do it by default. But get should it for me. thanks.

Read section 11.3 (in the 3.0.5 docs) for a detailed explanation.

The reason for the proxy for known objects is that it allows you to associate an object with another without actually doing the database call if you don't need to.

For example, you know that PERSON_TYPE_ID=1 indicates that the Person Object is for a Client, as opposed to an Employee. You could create a new Client Object, set it's personType attribute to the Proxy of PersonType id=1, and save it without having to ever read the PERSON_TYPE row from the database.
