You can specify loading strategy per-association. There is no support for "fetch profiles" currently. > 2.

Heh this is one of those things that should have been done ages ago but simply never made it to the top of the todo list. I think its something that everyone new to Hibernate assumes that they will need more often than they actually *do* end up needing it. (As you say, there is always the fallback to direct JDBC when really necessary.) Anyway, this is not at all difficult to implement and I *will* get onto it eventually. ********** CAUTION - Disclaimer ********** This message may contain privileged and confidential information.
