[Hibernate-devel] Feature for Lazy Initialization using Proxies

[Jon L. <jon...@xe...>]

Hi...

I patched my version of Hibernate with a feature that I think is useful, =
but before I committed it I wanted make sure everyone agrees with what I =
have done and if we should make this feature configurable, etc...

Normally if you open a session, load or find some object, then close the =
session you will be unable to access the objects with a many-to-one =
relation if it is setup to use lazy initialization.

I modified the LazyInitializer so that instead of throwing an exception =
because the session is closed, it will open a new connection and =
reconnect the session if the session, do the find, and the close the =
session again...  This way I only have to load the objects I really need =
at runtime, and I don't need to worry about managing the session.

If anyone has any comments on this kind of functionality, then I would =
definately like to hear them.

Thanks,
Jon...
