Hi, How are you verifying whether a field data has been loaded in an entity instance or not? Please note that if you simply do myEntity.getSomeField(); within an active persistence context, then as a side-effect, the getter will fetch the field value from the database (you can see extra SQL being issued if you turn on SQL tracing). This is a case of classic Schrodinger's Observer Effect as related to JPA :)
So to verify correctly, close the persistence context before accessing the fields. Also, instead of ojpaQuery.getFetchPlan().removeFetchGroup(FetchGroup.NAME_DEFAULT); do ojpaQuery.getFetchPlan().clearFetchGroups(); ----- Pinaki Poddar Chair, Apache OpenJPA Project -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Best-practice-Using-fetch-groups-or-a-simple-DTO-tp6598057p6622661.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
