Hi,
Lazy loading is not available for detached entities -- by definition,
they are no longer associated with the database.
You can, however, control whether OpenJPA returns null or throws an
exception when an unloaded field is accessed.
If you want to be able to lazily access a field after a transaction
completes, you might want to consider keeping the entity manager open
for the duration of your request.
The idea is that Toplink JPA supports that feature. OpenJPA - no.
Maybe this can be done as some configurable behaviour ?
