No proxy with session.load() instead it does a database hit - Why?

[Darya Akbari]

Hi,

I recently recognized that calling session.load() like

Item item = (Item) session.load(Item.class, new Long(123));

does not create a proxy as described by Hibernate's Java Persistence with Hibernate on p.564

Instead it creates a database hit, just the thing that the Hibernate guys want to avoid for performance reason.

I use Hibernate 3.2. Has anyone made similar experience

My hibernate mapping file says lazy="true", so why on earth does session.load() hit the database with a SELECT instead of giving me a proxy

Maybe it's a bug and I'm the first who encountered it

The database I use is Oracle.

Got it ,

The problem was that I didn't have a proxy="my pojo class" set in my hibernate mapping file due to the description in the book.

Anyway I have my proxy now

... finally, take care that the proxy stuff only works with concrete POJOs.

Polymorphy is not supported by it
