Force Lazy Fetch on One-Many

[ejb3workshop]

I have the following OneToMany relationship annotated as shown here.

 @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
 public Collection<Parameter> getParameters()
 {
 return parameters;
 }
 public void setParameters(Collection<Parameter> parameters)
 {
 this.parameters = parameters;
 }

As soon as the object is fetched all contained objects (Parameters) are also fetched even though they are annotated as lazy. I know the spec suggests the default behaviour for a OneToMany should be EAGER. I would still like to disable this and load the contained objects LAZY. The reason for this is that the contained objects include a BLOB, which has a significant penalty.

I implemented a "hack" of a work around by changing it to a ManyToMany and add a @Transient method to return the map it onto a OneToMany. This is rather poor, so if you have a better suggestion I would like to hear it.

It should work, I've hard time to believe you

After some isolated testing I found that I cannot recreate the problem. I will take a very close look at the problem code. I must be doing something I shouldn't.

Thanks for the feedback in any case

The problem is not with One-Many but with One-One relationship. I submitted a new topic under here.
