Hi,

I have two entities A and B with following details:

In A.java: A is associated with B through B_CODE.
@ManyToOne(targetEntity = B.class, optional = false, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "B_CODE", referencedColumnName = "B_CODE", nullable = false)
private B b;

In B.java: B_CODE is not a key column in B. B_ID is Primary key.
@Id
@Column(name = "B_ID")
private Long id;

@Column(name = "B_CODE", nullable = false)
private String code;

In spite of defining the association in A as lazy, it is always loaded whenever A is queried.
Is this because the association is with a non key column of B?
