Hello,

i've implemented a servlet, that provides an applet with data from a server-side database via hibernate. The data is encapsulated in a bean, that was generated from my database with hibernate tools in eclipse. My problem is, that hibernate's lazy-fetching doesn't work on the applet-side. How can I solve this problem?
1. Do I have to provide the transfered object with all the data, so that lazy-fetching is not necessary?

2. Is there a way to realise lazy-fetching between applet und servlet (hibernate)?

Thanks in advance!

generally there is no need for separate DTO objects provided that lazy=true is not used, i.e. objects are fully initialized.

Also keep in mind that you might need to have hibernate.jar in the applet classpath because H uses own collection classes implementations, or you might want to transfer data from H collection implementation to the standard Java collection like this:
o.setList( new ArrayList( o.getList()) );
