Is there an easy way to determine if a collection in a Class is marked as lazy loaded in hibernate?

In other words I want to use reflection to get all declared Field objects of a class and determine if a Collection is an instance of AbstractPersistentCollection or is a Collection that will be lazily loaded via hibernate?

Hi,
Hibernate Model is a POJO, and for the same reason I don't think it is possible to get that information straight away.
However,If you are using Hibernate annotations to define the mappings,
then,
you can do getDeclaredAnnotations() for your collection field ( using Reflection ) and see if it has @LazyCollection or has @ManyToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY) annotation
