The implementation is ensuring that the user instance is loaded with

Not exactly. Accessed, yes. Fetched, no. This distinction is critical to understanding how load fetch groups are supposed to work.

For concreteness, let us consider the following

@Entity
public class PObject {
        @Id
        private long id;        
        private Integer f2;
        @LoadFetchGroup("f4f5")
        private Integer f3;
        private Integer f4;
        private Integer f5;

Where FetchGroup "f4f5" consists of (you guessed it right:) {"f4",
"f5"}.

Consider f3 being accessed either by direct load such as Pobject.getF3()
or activating a FetchGroup {"f3"}.

Activating a fetch group doesn't do anything. Going to the back end to fetch instances causes the fetch plan to be analyzed and fetch groups to actually make something happen.

So this isn't exactly a good example, because it matters whether p1 (the instance of PObject) is already loaded into memory or not.

So if you em.find(PObject.class, 1) then the current fetch plan is analyzed and if f3 is not in it, then f3 isn't fetched. Full stop.

The resultant PObject instance with f1,f2 unloaded and f3,f4,f5 loaded.
However, this will result in two separate SQL being issued.
SELECT t0.id, t0.f3 FROM pobject t0
SELECT t0.f4, t0.f5 FROM pobject t0 WHERE t0.id = ?

This is wrong. Only one SQL should be issued, to fetch a specific instance.

The first SQL is resulted because f3 is included in current fecth
configuration while f4 and f5 are not.

If this is the case, then you should stop here. The load fetch group for f3 must be ignored.

The second SQL is resulted of StateManagerImpl.load() that detects f3
has a fetch group "f4f5". It is part of the current fecth session and
not a result of post-fetch analysis.

Here's where the trouble is. If f3 is not part of the fetch plan, then it should not be fetched.

However the way it is done is by
adding "f4f5" to the active fetch configuration temporarily and going
through similar cycle that caused the first SQL.

This should only occur if p1 is loaded, f3 is not loaded, and f3 is accessed.

The concern is I am observing via few test cases this mechanics working
to fulfill the user contract. However, Teresa/Kevin reported/observed
that LoadFetchGroup is not working. Further investigation on this
failure is required before introducing alternative solution.

So we need to look at the test cases to validate them before we "fix" anything.

Craig

Subject: [jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-370) LoadFetchGroup
annotation was not recognized during the fetch1

Craig Russell commented on OPENJPA-370:
---------------------------------------

Before the instance is returned to the caller, the fields
are checked again if they cause any other field be loaded
because LoadFecthGroup. At that point, if field f has a
LoadFetchGroup L and L is not part of the active fetch
configuration then *temporarily* add L to the active
FetchConfiguration and go for another 'fetch' (i.e. from the
datastore).

This sounds wrong. The effect of the load fetch group should
be part of the fetch strategy, and no post-fetch analysis
should be done. The only time the load fetch group is used is
if a field f is accessed and it's not already fetched.

The intent of the load fetch group is to augment the fetch
plan under which the persistent instance was fetched. It's
designed to provide an intelligent fetch strategy for the
lower-usage cases where some use needs field f1 (not in any
fetch group in the current fetch plan) and when using field f1
you want to also fetch fields f2, f3, and f4, that are also
not part of the current fetch plan.

Employee class has a LoadFetchGroup annotation defined on
the Rating field, when getRating was called, the address
should be returned also. However, openjpa did not handle the
LoadFetchGroup correctly, therefore, address was not eargly fetched.
public class FGEmployee{
    @Id
    private int id;

    @OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    private FGAddress address;

    @Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    @LoadFetchGroup("AddressFetchGroup")
    private String rating;

    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    private FGManager manager;
..
}
