lazily loading collection

[Naresh Chaurasia]

Suppose I have following class,

public class Event {
private Long id;
private String name;
private Date startDate;
private int duration;
private Set speakers;
private Set attendees;
private Location location;
}

 <class name="com.manning.hq.ch05.Event" table="events">
        <id name="id" type="long" unsaved-value="null">
            <generator class="native"/>
        </id>
        <property name="name" type="string" length="100"/>
        <property name="startDate" column="start_date"
                  type="date"/>
        <property name="duration" type="integer"/>
        <many-to-one name="location" column="location_id"
                     class="com.manning.hq.ch05.Location"/>
        <set name="speakers" cascade="all">
            <key column="event_id"/>
            <one-to-many class="com.manning.hq.ch05.Speaker"/>
        </set>
        <set name="attendees" cascade="all">
            <key column="event_id"/>
            <one-to-many class="com.manning.hq.ch05.Attendee"/>
        </set>
    </class>

I load Event from session object. Now when i use getSpeaker(), hibernate would lazily load the speaker collection(assuming lazy is true by default).

I wanted to understand the following concept:

When I do event.getSpeaker(), which give me a set containing Speaker, is the Speaker object populdated with data, or the stubs are loaded initially and then when i make call to Speaker method the object is actually populdated
