you do not need to do it. hibernate does it for you out of the box. - if you transfer your object over the wire ( serialize / deserialize ) - collection will be fetched beforehand. Though you have to be carefull with object reachability - you may fetch far more than expected.... So, you do not need value object at all. regards, ===== ----[ Konstantin Pribluda ( ko5tik ) ]---------------- Zu Verst�rkung meines Teams suche ich ab Sofort einen Softwareentwickler[In] f�r die Festanstellung.
