[eclipselink-users] JPA, Lazy Loading, Weaving

[wintermute@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there,

I am currently looking into EclipseLink as an alternative for Toplink  
Essentials in GlassFish. After some persistence.xml adaptation, all  
looked surprisingly well -- except for one crucial thing: Mappings  
with FetchType.LAZY showed up empty.

I figured that probably weaving wasn't working -- no surprise there,  
as I hadn't done anything to make it work. Now, the documentation  
states that there should be a library named "eclipselink-agent.jar",  
but there is no such thing in the M3 distribution. Turning off weaving  
by setting "persistence.tool.weaving" to "false" in persistence.xml  
didn't solve my LAZY-mapping issue either.

So, does this mean that indirection / weaving is just not ready yet?  
Or maybe I'm missing something?

Btw, as this is my first post to the list: Oracle did the right thing.  
Having a mature, open source JPA implementation with cluster-aware  
caching ready is a very, very exciting perspective. Looks like  
EclipseLink could become the JPA implementation-with-no-downside that  
everybody is looking for.
