Hi there. I'm trying to get list of objects by using ISession.CreateQuery() and List<>() - nice, but all related objects are eagerly loaded. When I Load() using a specific ID I get a lazy loaded object - even though this is where I actually want the eagerly loaded data.

I think I've tried all combinations of using lazy=true/false

All hints are welcome - thanx.

I use the original Hibernate in Java, but maybe this is the same. There're two methods to load by id: load() and get(). load() returns a proxy, get() returns null or the object. Maybe you want to call get() instead?

Thank you for your input, but I'm afraid it didn't solve my problem. I guess I didn't explain it too well.

For search window purposes, I want to list all objects (filtered by a certain criteria) not including relations to other objects. For this purpose I would expect to use the List<>() method.

When the user selects an object from the search window, I want to load that specific object and (most of) all related objects to that instance. In this case I expect I should use Load/Get.

My problem is that I get the opposite. List gives me all related objects as well, whereas Load/Get gives me the specified object and that's it.

How do I make Hibernate (the problem is properly the same on both platforms) behave as I want?

Which query are you using to retrieve your objects? A criteria query uses the fetch plan defined in the hbm.xml files (i.e. the lazy settings), although a HQL one only retrieves what is asked for.

First ,You must set your relate object "lazy=tue",so ,The first time Search will only load the object, not load it is relate object,

second, if you want to get the relate object ,you can execute the search
by id again, and use SetFecthMode(FetchMode.eager) to load the relate object,

of cource,you can use NHibernateUtil.Initialize() to load the relate object,too.
