I’m attempting to use hibernate-test-case-templates to ask a question about lazy loading behavior for entities. In the real application I have a Parent / Child entity relationship. I think I should be able to call child.parent.getId() and hibernate will not load the parent because that id is present…

I suppose that your debugger is causing the loading. I tried your example and don’t see the SQL query that fetches Parent.

Help writing test case for lazy loading

Confirmed. That’s unfortunate I can’t use the debugger to check the behavior. Thank you!
