Hibernate throws MultipleBagFetchException - cannot simultaneously fetch multiple bags

Question

Hibernate throws this exception during SessionFactory creation:

org.hibernate.loader.MultipleBagFetchException: cannot simultaneously fetch multiple b

Answer 1

For me, the problem was having nested EAGER fetches.

One solution is to set the nested fields to LAZY and use Hibernate.initialize() to load the nested field(s):

x = session.get(ClassName.class, id);
Hibernate.initialize(x.getNestedField());
