Hi,

I have two classes in a simple composition relationship:

class A {
private B child;
}

class B {
private Policy policy;
}

At some point, I'm using Spring's Hibernate template to retrieve all entities of type A:

hibernateTemplate.find("from A");

This query will return a list of instances of type A, each also having a lazy association to an object of type B.

At some point after this query, but before someone gets to use objects returned by the query, I need to make sure that every object B is injected with an instance of Policy object.

I've tried setting an interceptor:

hibernateTemplate.setEntityInterceptor(new Interceptor() {...});

but it's not getting triggered (I'm assuming I'm not using interceptors properly).

Any suggestions on how to handle this?


Thanks
D.
