Here is my problem:

I did a load of an object that has 2 lazy collections. I have not accessed those collections after the object is loaded so I didn't see any Select statements for those lazy collections. Now when I do a session.evict of that loaded object, I see 2 select statements for those lazy collections. When I am evicting an object, why should the lazy collections be loaded?

Thanks

Trying to get the attention again...

Can someone respond, please?

Thanks

Actually, evict never cascades to uninitialized collections. Anyway, I checked the code, and I'm quite certain that Hibernate is not reponsible for initializing the collections.

Use your debugger to find where your code accesses the collections (eg. get/set pairs, toString() methods, etc).

If you still believe it is Hibernate responsible (ie. if by debugging into the Hibernate source, you found that the cause if Hibernate), prove it by giving a working test case.

Gavin,

You are absolutely right. One of my get methods was accessing the set size. Thank you for your response. I really appreciate your confidence.
