Disable Hibernate Proxies

hi there,

is there a way to disable the hibernate proxy generation programmatically or by configuration? So the proxy classes are replaced by simple null values?

I really don't need lazy loading and I want full controll which sql statements are actually called by hibernate. So specifiying lazy = "no" to my classes or assoziations is not an option.

I'm asking this because I don't wan't to add the hibernate.jar to my client (which is accessing an ejb which returns hibernate persisted entities.) as I'm not able to use lazy loading / the proxies on the client at all (No the session in View pattern or the copying of my entitiy objects into non hibernate pojos is not an option).

I really don't need the proxy stuff - but I did not find a solution to disable it :-(.

thanks in advance for your help

cheers Kai

Hi,

we check the lazy flag using the following code:

Code:

for (Iterator iter = cfg.getClassMappings(); iter.hasNext();) {
   PersistentClass pc = (PersistentClass) iter.next();
   if( pc.isLazy() ) { // do something
   }
}

where cfg is an instance of Configuration.
You may change the lazy flag using:

Code:

pc.setLazy(false);

However I have not tested this.

thanks, but this is not what we need. We would like Hibernate to return values where no proxies are present at all - but we don't wan't to use the lazy=true stuff as it leats to a huge amout of useless sql queries...

Well, i don't think there is a solution for this problems - seems that we need to introduce transfer objects that we sent to the client instead of the one retrieve by hibernate ;-(

cheers
