how we can enable lazy loading in hibernate other then using lazy="true".
is there any other way also??


thanks.

Hi, the default behaviour from Hibernate is that only
@OneToMany and @ManyToMany are fechted lazy.

@Basic, @Lob and @OneToOne are fetched eager by default.
For @Lob you can activate lazy loading only with bytecode instrumentation (See chapter 19.1.7 of the manual -- the rest of chapter 19 is also useful). It's not recommended and a special query is the preferred solution.

So you normally don't have to change anything, if that is ok for you.

Why don't you like ? Have you tried annotations?

E. g.
