Lets say I have a persistent object that implements an interface like this:
class Foo { public Long getId(); public List getBars(); public void setBars(List value); } Bar is another persistent object. Now lets say I execute this code: Foo f = sess.load(Foo.class, someId); List bars = f.getBars(); The question is: Does the Foo object get loaded from the database? Or can the Hibernate proxy load the 'bars' collection without the extra database hit of loading the parent object?
