I have noticed that Hibernate eagerly loads my annotated @OneToOne associations despite my attempt to force lazy initialization:

@OneToOne(mappedBy = "owner", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private OneToOneCandidate foo;

The EJB specification states that the LAZY value is a hint to the persistence provider. Just wondering whether Hibernate currently support this hint.

Thanks.
