Hibernate have never claimed they have fetch groups! And it is not an
attempt to fake it.
Max, this is an excerpt from the Hibernate
link I gave in my article:
20.1.7. Using lazy property fetching
Hibernate3 supports the lazy fetching of individual properties.
This optimization technique is also known as fetch
groups.
To me this sounds pretty much like in short it wants to say "Hibernate3
supports fetch groups". What else could it mean?
We can add
fetch groups the day we get more than a few requests with proper
usecases for it - until now that has not happend.
This has always been the way Hibernate added features and from my
perspective
that has worked very well - for some reason it irritates some people
that
we also have our own opinion and use that to prioritize features.
No problem with that, I don't care whether Hibernate supports fetch
groups or not. I'd just be happy to see it in EJB3.
