lazy-loading

I need help with lazy blob loading in Hibernate. I have in my web application these servers and frameworks: MySQL, Tomcat, Spring and Hibernate. The part of database config. <bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" destroy-method="close"> <property name="user" value="${jdbc.username}"/> <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/> <property name="driverClass" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/> <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${jdbc.url}"/> <property name="initialPoolSize"> <value>${jdbc.initialPoolSize}</value> </property> <property name="minPoolSize">

My program displays a horizontal scrolling surface tiled with UIImageViews from left to right. Code runs on the UI thread to ensure that newly-visible UIImageViews have a freshly loaded UIImage assigned to them. The loading happens on a background thread. Everything works almost fine, except there is a stutter as each image becomes visible. At first I thought my background worker was locking something in the UI thread. I spent a lot of time looking at it and eventually realized that the UIImage is doing some extra lazy processing on the UI thread when it first becomes visible. This puzzles me,

Is there any way to disable lazy loading for specific query on Entity Framework 6? I want to use it regularly, but sometimes I want to disable it. I'm using virtual properties to lazy load them. set the following code before the query you want to execute context.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false; William Ballesteros You can disable Lazy loading for specific query as follows : public static Cursos GetDatosCursoById(int cursoId) { using (var bd = new AcademyEntities()) { try { bd.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false; return bd.Cursos.FirstOrDefault(c => c.cursoId == cursoId); }

Is there a way I can count the size of an associated collection without initializing? e.g. Select count(p.children) from Parent p (there is a good reason why I cant do this any other way as my where clause is more complicated and my from clause is a polymorphic query) Thanks. A possible solution other than queries might be mapping children with lazy="extra" (in XML notation). This way, you can fetch the Parent with whatever query you need, then call parent.getChildren().size() without loading the whole collection (only a SELECT COUNT type query is executed). With annotations, it would be
