[Hibernate-devel] mvc & lazy loading

[Brad C. <bra...@wo...>]

to date, we have avoided using lazy loading when writing a web app in
one of the standard mvc type frameworks (eg. struts, webwork, etc).
this is because objects r typically retrieved, placed in the request
attributes, session closed and control is then passed to the view (JSP,
velocity, etc).  if the view attempts to access a lazy loaded collection
in one of the objects an exception is thrown as the associated session
is closed.

what do other people do?

yesterday, i spent a few hours writing a very simple webapp framework
that uses velocity for the view.  it enables the velocity rendering to
be done while a session is open.  so far this is working quite well for
us.

comments?
