> There's an on-going discussion on the dev mailing list concerning this
> problem
> (http://www.nabble.com/Eager-fetching-not-working-with-enums-and-lobs-tf4037105.html).
> Since I've gotten agreement on at least one aspect of the problem, I
> decided to open this JIRA Issue to document the problem.
> Here's a summary of the problem:
> I am finding that the supposed default action of Eager fetching is not
> happening with @Enumerated and @Lob fields. If I explicitly specify the
> @Basic annotation, then the fields are eagerly fetched. But, without this
> extraneous @Basic, these fields are lazily loaded. This action does not seem
> to be consistent with the spec. Nor, can I find any mention of this
> alternate behavior in our OpenJPA manual. Sounds like a bug to me. Any
> other insights?
> This works (eager loading kicks in):
> @Basic @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
> private Gender gender;
> This does not work (lazy loading kicks in):
> @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
> private Gender gender;
> I have also tried to use defaults (without any annotations), and lazy loading
> still kicks in:
> private Gender gender;
> The JPA spec attempts to address this situation in section 9.1.18... Section
> 9.1.8 of the JPA spec indicates that @Basic is optional and applies to the
> following types:
> "..Java primitive types, wrappers of the primitive types, java.lang.String,
> java.math.BigInteger,
> java.math.BigDecimal, java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.sql.Date,
> java.sql.Time, java.sql.Timestamp, byte[], Byte[], char[], Character[],
> enums, and any other type that implements Serializable."
> And, since the default fetch type for @Basic is EAGER, it looks like we need
> to do eager fetching for both @Enumerated and @Lob fields unless otherwise
> overridden by a LAZY fetch type (ie. @Basic(fetch=LAZY)). Agree?
> We're still working on the agreement... :-)
> Thanks,
> Kevin
