You can declare a field to be in the default fetch group if you always want the field to be available:
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = "true") private List<Value> values; If you don't want to go with this approach, you can also "touch" the field that you want (e.g. call item.getItemValues()) before calling pm.close. After detaching the object, the values field will be available since they will have been lazily fetched with the getter call. - Jason On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 11:47 AM, bysse <erik.byst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Clearly i'm just as lost now as before.... > > On Sep 14, 7:54 pm, bysse <erik.byst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Okej, i've learned a bit more since i've posted these messages.
