I tried to implement simple one-to-many
association. after inspecting the item object with debugging mode, I found that List<Bid> bids
already loaded. But List<Bid>
bids property is annotated with FetchType.LAZY
. some books and web pages claim that FetchType.LAZY
is a hint JPA providers accept or reject. But I wonder on what condition JPA providers ignore FetchType.LAZY
. Thank you in advance.
@Entity
@Table(name = "ITEM")
public class Item implements Serializable {
@Id
private Long id = null;
private String name;
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name = "SELLER_ID", nullable = false)
private User seller;
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "item", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private List<Bid> bids;
/**

private static void itemSeller(EntityManager em) {
Item item = em.find(Item.class, 1L);
System.out.println("hello");

EDIT : I put break point at the statement System.out.println("hello")
. I inspected the item object. See the picture :
