I think that Spring Data ignores the FetchMode. I always use the @NamedEntityGraph
and @EntityGraph
annotations when working with Spring Data
@Entity
@NamedEntityGraph(name = "GroupInfo.detail",
attributeNodes = @NamedAttributeNode("members"))
public class GroupInfo {
// default fetch mode is lazy.
@ManyToMany
List<GroupMember> members = new ArrayList<GroupMember>();
…
}
@Repository
public interface GroupRepository extends CrudRepository<GroupInfo, String> {
@EntityGraph(value = "GroupInfo.detail", type = EntityGraphType.LOAD)
GroupInfo getByGroupName(String name);
}
