Hi,
The scenario is as follows
Company object which contains a List of Employees, and each Employee object has List of Address objects.

I have lazy loading enabled for all the collections since I dont want to load the entire object tree to be loaded all the time.

Now my concern is, when I need the collections including the nested one (i.e list of Address for each Employee) , how can I force this
I have used Hibernate.initialize(company.getEmployee()) to load the list of employee.But how can I apply this to the inner collection of Address , for each employee
what I have done is below

But I dont tink this is the best way to do this.Can anybody suggest a better solution?

Need to select fetch strategy as join or may be select. Something like this



will result in this query at loading company and employee in same query.Although need to check for nested collection.

Thanks for the response.
But this is not what I wanted.I dont want to load the employee list all the time.I wanted to load this only in specific case.So I can not give the mapping in the mapping file.
Also the issue is with the inner collection ,say employ.addresses.Not with the employee collection.
