Hi all,

i cann't initialize a collection using Hibernate.initialize().
[code]
Job job = (Job) session.load(Job.class, new Integer(1));

as far as i remember the javadoc states it does not gaurentee that the elements of the collection is initialized - its just the collection.

Thanks, for the very fast response! So is there a best way to
initialize a whole collection or should i initialize each element
using a for loop?


I cann't use eager fetching by criteria api, because there are more
collections that must be loaded eagerly.

as far as i remember the javadoc states it does not gaurentee that the elements of the collection is initialized - its just the collection.

the most efficent way is to fetch the collection with criteria or hql api.

iterating over each element is definitly the slowest way ;)

thank you :o)
