Gentlepeople,
Being new to JPA in general and even newer wrt EclipseLink I hope the
level of the question is nevertheless ok for this newsgroup.
I have a fairly straightforward class structure to model a tree (abstract
BaseNode,Node and Leaf).
The Node has a Collection<BaseNode> member and a BaseNode has a parent
member.
I am now trying to write code to optimize the retrieval of a complete
subtree.
I am using (LEFT) JOIN FETCH and that kind of works. I still see a query
which at least in theory I think is not needed.
The EJBQL is
SELECT n FROM Node n LEFT JOIN FETCH n.nodes WHERE n.path = :path
What I see in the SQL logging is
SELECT t1.id, t1.type, t1.path, t1.parent_id, t0.id, t0.type, t0.path,
t0.parent_id FROM node t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN node t0 ON (t0.parent_id =
t1.id) WHERE ((t1.path = ?) AND (t1.type = ?))
bind => [/r/c2/c24/, 2]
SELECT id, type, path, parent_id FROM node WHERE (parent_id = ?)
bind => [52559]
I am wondering whether there is anything I can do to avoid the second
select. I would think that all information was already retrieved in the
first select (52559 is the id of the Node with path /r/c2/c24/)
Is this possible with EclipseLink or would that not always be correct?
Many thanks indeed!
Peter

You are joining the children, but not the parent. If the parent is in the
cache, then it will get a cache hit, but if any of the parents are not in
the cache, and your relationship is not lazy, then it will need to select
it.
I would recommend making your parent (and children) lazy. You could also
join the parent, but then you could still have selects for the parent's
parent, so lazy really should be used.
You may also consider using batch reading than joining, it is more
efficient.
