Hi
I had this problem as well. I haven't found perfect solution.. What I
have done is while retrieving data from the database so e.g. in
findEntity(Long id) method I am forcing persistent layer to return my
collection immediately:
Entity findEntity(Long id)
{
// open transaction, get entityManager etc.
// ...
Entity obj = entityManager.find(id);
// force retrival of collection
obj.getDonations().size();
// handle transaction and entitymanager etc.
//...
}
I will be very glad to find out how to make it in a better way:)
