I'm not sure that FetchType.LAZY is working correctly or perhaps I do not fully understand how it works. I have an ejb with a OneToMany relationship. I really just want the relationship in order to use the Cascade capabilities and only fetch the relationship when I require it. I'm trying to create an xml document from the bean and do not necessarily want the relationships included.
I saw that there was FetchType.LAZY bug recently fixed and I am using the CVS version which I downloaded on 9/20/2005.
...
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.REMOVE, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn
public List<EmployeeEJB> getEmployee() {
return this._getEmployee();
}
...When I fetch the ejb and try to marshall it into xml, the related beans are included in the output.
CompanyEJB company = em.find(CompanyEJB.class, new String("1") );
CompanyDocument companyDocument = objFactory2.createCompanyDocument();
companyDocument.setCompany(company);
Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
m.marshal(companyDocument, System.out);I thought perhaps the Marshaller was somehow retrieving the relationship so I cloned the bean prior to marshalling but I still get the relationships included in the output.
CompanyEJB company = em.find(CompanyEJB.class, new String("1") );
// clone
CompanyEJB companyClone = (CompanyEJB) company.clone();
//
CompanyDocument companyDocument = objFactory2.createCompanyDocument();
companyDocument.setCompany(companyClone);
Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
m.marshal(companyDocument, System.out);Output:
<company>
...
<employee>
<employeeName> employee name goes here </employeeName>
</employee>
<companyName> company name goes here </companyName>
...
<company>
