By default Hibernate lazy loads all collection associations. The most likely
problem here is that XStream is navigating the object graph, and as soon as
XStream does a account.getPosts() the entire list of posts is loaded. The
best approach is probably to get XStream to ignore the relevant attribut
I am using Hibernate with Struts2 and XStream to dump my objects to XML.
What is worrying is that because of the weird mapping between POJO and
Hibernate, when I have a top level object or table, ex. Account which then
has a list of Posts which in turn has a list of Comments, when I do
accountDao
