@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) does not work?

Question

I use JPA (Hibernate) with Spring. When i want to lazy load a Stirng property i use this syntax:

@Lob
@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
public String getHtmlSum         


        

Answer 1

Lazy fetching only applies to references to other entities or collections of entities. It does not apply to values like String or int.
