Hi

I am working on an existing application which has hibernate lazy=false. I do not want to fetch the children for this specific flow. How can I turn off eager loading. I cannot modify hbm.xml as it would have a big impact.

Details:

I have a class A. A has many children B. B has many children C. C has many children D.

these are the hbm configurations.
A --> B is lazy
B --> C is Eager
C --> D is Eager

While fetching A we do a hibernate.initialize on B but since B fetches C eagerly and C fetches D eagerly, D is initialized as well which I dont want as it is impacting performance for this particular flow.


Is there a way I can turn off C-->D eager loading using Java.

Thanks !!!!

Regards
Saurav
