Hi,

If I use lazy="false" in class mappings (<class name="com.xxx.xxx" table="xxxx" lazy="false">), can I overrite it when mapping associations to this class or with criteria queries and Fetch Modes? Because the documentation (in chapter 5.1.3. class) says: "lazy (optional): Lazy fetching may be completely disabled by setting lazy="false".

Hibernate version: 3.0

Thanks

Yes, but I don not want to load the asociation, I want it to be lazy. For example I have a User class with a many-to-one asocition to Group class which has <class lazy="false" ....>, so when a search a User with a criteria I do not want to load the group.
It seems that you cannot override the lazy value if put <class lazy="false" ....>

Thanks

You can also use:

Hibernate.initialize()

I am having this same problem, was a solution ever found for this?

If you disable proxy generation for a class, you can only lazy load associations to that class with interception through bytecode enhancement.
