many to one property loaded although it is lazy

Hello All
I have this mapped property in my object:

Code:

   <many-to-one name="mainSpatialObject" class="SpatialObject" column="idgis" lazy="true" property-ref="gisID"/>

As you can see it is lazy.

However- when I perform a simple "session.get() " on the object, I can see an SQL statement generated for the "mainSpatialObject".

Why isn't it lazy ?

Thank you !

What version of Hibernate are you using. lazy="true" isn't a valid option for many-to-one from 3.0.5 going forward.

I am using version 3.0.3.
The options to use are "proxy, true, false".
If I want the many-to-one property to be fetched only when a "get" method is called upon this property - shouldn't I use true ?

Ok, an Update.
I removed the lazy property :

Code:

<many-to-one name="mainSpatialObject" class="SpatialObject" column="idgis" lazy="proxy" property-ref="gisID"/>

But still the SQL statement for the property is made.
BUT -
I have another many-to-one property in this object

Code:

<many-to-one name="mainImage" class="Image" column="main_image"/>

And when I removed the ' lazy="true" ' for this one - no SQL statement are generated for it anymore.

What could be the difference between this 2 , that the first cuases Hibernate to generate an SQL statment, and the second doesnt ?

Thank you!

Ok - answering myself :
the "property-ref" is the problem:

However - I cannot avoid it. At least I know why.

Thanks anyhow :-)
