Hello,

Using Hibernate 3.1

I have a problem to lazily load a collection. I have read the Hibernate Documentation and also Hibernate in Action (for Hibernate 2.0).

In the book and also the documentation I read that to lazily load a collection you need to set the flag lazy=true. I have done this, however for some reason my system still shows me Sql to load the objects that should only be loaded lazily!

I have an object representing a Case. The Case object then has a List object that contains Compenents. I have done the hbm.xml file for Case as follows:


However as already said, Hibernate is still loading me the childreen components. In my database I have a table called Case that has a one to many relationship with another table called Components. This is what I would like to ammulate in my objects. However I do not want to load all the Components in Case when I do not need them!

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thank You for all help.

Are you using simple session.load(Case.class, <Long>) or hsql (hibernate sql)? If you're using hsql and join to the child object, they get loaded.

btw - you shouldn't have to specify lazy=true as that's the default in 3.x. HIA was for 2.x as you mentioned.
