[Hibernate-devel] one-to-many associations and lazy initialization

[Georg S. <ge...@gm...>]

Is Hibernate intended to support lazy collections with one-to-many 
associations?
There is an example in cirrus/hibernate/test/qux_map.xml which made me 
think that Hibernate supports lazy collections with one-to-many 
associations, but it doesn't work and I can't find any code in  
cirrus.hibernate.map.Collection implementing this.
Are there any reasons, that lazy collections with one-to-many 
associations doesn't work, or is it just not implemented?

I looked again at the source code from cirrus.hibernate.map.Collection 
and I think the only change needed to make it work is moving lines 73 
to 77 out of the if-else-block, resulting in the following:

     57                 if (isOneToMany) {
     58                         //we have to set up the table later!! 
yuck
     59                 }
     60                 else {
     61                         //TABLE
...
     73                 }
     74                 //LAZINESS
     75                 Node lazyNode = atts.getNamedItem("lazy");
     76                 if (lazyNode!=null) {
     77                         lazy = 
lazyNode.getNodeValue().equals("true");
     78                 }

For my usage of Hibernate this works just fine, but I don't know if 
this breaks something else?!
