Hibernate ManyToOne FetchType.LAZY is not working?

Question

I am using spring 4.1.4.RELEASE + hibernate 4.3.6.Final, here is my entity code:

public class BaseEntity implements Serializable {
}


public class MarketInfo extends BaseEntity {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    private int id;

    @Column(name = "market_id", unique = true, length = 15)
    private String marketId;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "market")
    private List<MarketChannelGroup> channelGroups;

    public List<MarketChannelGroup> getChannelGroups() {
        return channelGroups;
    }

    public void setChannelGroups(List<MarketChannelGroup> channelGroups) {
        this.channelGroups = channelGroups;
    }

...
}

public class MarketChannelGroup extends BaseEntity {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    private int id;


    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "market_id", referencedColumnName = "market_id")
    private MarketInfo market;
...
}

From my test I can see the channelGroups in MarketInfo is working fine (if I don't call getChannelGroups(), then channelGroups is null), however if I call getChannelGroups(), the MarketInfo inside each MarketChannelGroup gets fetched, while this should not happen since market's fetch mode is FetchType.LAZY.

From console I do see the following hibernate log when I call its getter:

Hibernate: select channelgro0_.market_id as market_i5_12_1_, channelgro0_.id as id1_9_1_, channelgro0_.id as id1_9_0_, channelgro0_.channel_group_id as channel_2_9_0_, channelgro0_.channel_group_name as channel_3_9_0_, channelgro0_.channel_group_type as channel_4_9_0_, channelgro0_.market_id as market_i5_9_0_ from market_channel_group channelgro0_ where channelgro0_.market_id=?

could anyone help?

UPDATE

there is no optional method for ManyToOne annotation, so the solution in OneToOne doesn't work for my case.

Answer 1

Move the @OneToMany annotation from the declaration to the getter method, like this:

private List<MarketChannelGroup> channelGroups;

@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "market")
public List<MarketChannelGroup> getChannelGroups() {
    return channelGroups;
}

Answer 2

How is your configuration archive? Look if you are using the filter OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter. If you are using it, always that you call the method Lazy getChannelGroups() the hibernate will get fetch inside each element.

Answer 3

You have to take oneToMany annotation to getter if @id is on the getter. Lazy works but if you or some framework get the lazy property in that transction the get method fire the select.
