Hi!
I'm running into a problem that I honestly don't know how to work around. I would really apreciate any hint you guys can give me.

I have to entities. Town and Country.
Country is straight foward, but Town has a many-to-one relation to country. (a town belongs to a country, and a country can be associated to many towns).
I've decided to make the relation lazy, because most of the times I don't need to countries when I query the towns. But from time to time I will require them.

This is the model simplified:





Now, when I want to retrieve towns with countries I do something like this:



Aja, that code runs with no errors. But after, if I try to retrieve any field from the country (like country.getid()) everything is null !!! I mean, the fields are null, but the country itself is not.

I debugged it, and this is what I found:




Uhmm... that's a proxy I guess, but not very useful to me.

What am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with the fact that the transaction is in SUPPORT?

I would really appreciate any help here. I can't find documentation about this.

Thanks!

Bump!

I would really appreciate any help in this problem I'm facing. I really don't know what to do.

In the example above, If I perform a:



I get a list of towns, but If I try this:



I get "null" printed. The proxy is not doing anything and no hits are done to the database to retrieve the countries.
I tried to debug that code and there isn't any code that intercepts the "getCountry().getName()".

However, If I try this:



it works, now a hit is done to the database to retrieve each country, which is correct.

But why is not the proxy working? Could be due to my hibernate configuration? Could be due to any AspectJ ??

Thanks for any help.

Hi, I found where the problem was (for anyone that might be interested).

My pojos where like this:

@Entity
@Table(name="COUNTRIES")
public class Country {
@Id
private Long id;
@Column(nullable=false)
private String name;

private final getId(){
return id;
}

private final getName(){
return name;
}
}

If you pay attention you'll notice that the getters are FINAL. I was using a tool that automatically generates the getters/setters and I never stop to check them. Big mistake; if the methods are final Javassist can't override them.

I hope my silly mistake helps anyone.

Thanks for this hind.
