[netvampire]

hello, i am experiencing a problem with my site. Hopefully this forum can help.

What i think the problem is, is best explained through an example.
public class foo {
int id;
Bar bar;
}

public class Bar{

}

given two classes, when i perform a findAll(foo) on objects of type foo, it loads and returns a list fine, however whenever i reference foo.bar i get an error. how can i load all the associated objects with a given class. I am sure there is something in the mapping that handles that. Any suggestions.
Herei s the mapping.

<hibernate-mapping>

    <class name="com.lbm.Domain.System.Con" table="con">
        <id name="ID" column="ID">
            <generator class="assigned" />
        </id>
        <property name="post" type="text" />
        <many-to-one name="user" column="user_id" class="com.mofo.Domain.Account.User" cascade="all"/>  
        <property name="dateCreated" type="date" column="dateCreated"/>
        <property name="lastModifiedOn" type="date" column="lastModifiedOn"/>
        <property name="deleted" type="boolean" column="deleted"/>
    </class>
    
</hibernate-mapping>

I am sure there is something in the mapping that handles that.

There are actually very many ways to handle it. Eager loading by setting the relationship to lazy="false", by fetching the related objects with the actual data, using OSIV and so on.
Usually, when it is a 1:n as in your case with bar:foo I used the lazy="false" approach in the Hibernate mapping. Have a look into the Hibernate reference for the details.

thanks. lazy did the trick.
