Does anyone know if the hibernate bug in this question has been fixed yet
Thanks Mike
For lazy loading of fields/columns (as opposed to relationships) Hibernate needs bytecode instrumentation. Which works fine, but it's not quite "out of the box". Although this may be annoying, it is not necessarily a bug. Then there are some workarounds that seem not the intended way, but would be fine, if only they worked, which isn't the case for me. Your mileage may vary.
