How to retrieve an object by query without loading it

Hi,

I try to get a reference to an B object by a query (not on its PK) and then I just need set the reference of B to A.

Code:

Query q = ..."select b from B as b, where b.x=..."
a.setB(q.getSingleResult());

It it possible to get an object by query without loading it ?(same kind of features as EntityManager.gerReference)

Thanks

Hmmm ... I don't think you can get a proxy out of the HQL query.

select b.id

session.load(B.class, (Serializable) q.uniqueResult());
