(Lazy) Fetch using EJBQL

[doubledenim]

I am wondering if there is any neater way to do the following.

s = (Session) em.createQuery(
 "SELECT DISTINCT s " +
 "FROM Session as s " +
 "WHERE s.sessionId = :sessionId")
 .setParameter("sessionId", sessionId)
 .getSingleResult();
 for(SessionSupplier sessionSupplier:s.getSessionSuppliers())
 {
 sessionSupplier.getSessionSupplierLocations().size();
 }

the SessionSupplier entity has a many relationship to one session, and the sessionSupplierLocation is the same to SessionSupplier. They both have a fetch type of LAZY from their parent objects.

I am basically wondering if i can initialize these child entities through the EJBQL?

I tried using something like

s = (Session) em.createQuery(
 "SELECT DISTINCT s " +
 "FROM Session as s " +
 "LEFT JOIN FETCH s.sessionSuppliers as ss " +
 "LEFT JOIN FETCH ss.sessionSupplierLocations as ssl " +
 "WHERE s.sessionId = :sessionId")
 .setParameter("sessionId", sessionId)
 .getSingleResult();
