Hi Bardamu,
I think it was not clear enough due to the lack of Proxy explanation.
If I have an employee and I call getBoss() on it, it has to load the boss
property. But what if I call a method like this in employee?
public boolean askARase() {
if (this.getBoss().hasMoney()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Then, I hope the boss property is loaded before hasMoney() is called on it.
The boss property itself is a proxy that can be defined as <E extends
Employee>, but what is E? Since iBATIS does not know for sure, I has to call
the select to get the right type for boss as soon as any method on Employee is
called.

Hi Christian,
I understand your point but I don't get its relation to my question at all.
Continuing your example, I would ask why employee.getName() will prematurely
load the boss. A priori, I would expect the proxy to be smarter and only
trigger the loading of boss if getBoss() was effectively called.
