Hey all

I am using the following HQL statement to retrieve a movie and its 'tags' collection.


from Movie m
inner join fetch m.tags


The problem is that when the collection is loaded all of the associated objects of the collection also are loaded.

Movie.hbm.xml
<set name="tags" cascade="all">
<key column="movie_id" />
<one-to-many class="com.example.model.Tag" />
</set>

Tag.hbm.xml
<many-to-one
name="user"
column="user_id"
not-null="true"
/>

<many-to-one
name="movie"
column="movie_id"
not-null="true"
/>

What I don't want is Hibernate loading the user and movie properties for the 'tag' collection when issuing the HQL statement, is it possible to only populate certain properties of associated collections?

Thanks!

Trying making "user" and "movie" as lazy collections:

<many-to-one
name="user"
column="user_id"
not-null="true"
lazy="true"
/>

But that's not even a valid argument since they are lazy by default.
