Whenever i retrieve a list of data from the db, i will hibernate initialize all of it, then close session, then only display it.

This become a problem when i have a lot of data, say for eg, 2000++, After i retrieve the 2000++ data, i will have a for loop, looping these data and perform hibernate initialize. If i don't initialize, i will have the proxy error after i close the session and display.

Is there any other way to do this, without looping all the data for initiliazing?

Hi, thanks for the link.

i've tried the fetch="subselect" but it still requires me to hibernate.initialize the collection after the session closed.

is there anyway to just initialize without looping all the data retrieved?

Post the manner and code in which you are retrieving the data (HQL, Criteria, etc).

Hi, i managed to solve the problem by using fetch="join". It doesn't need hibernate.initialize!!

Thanks.
