Multiple fetches with EAGER type in Hibernate with JPA

The root cause of the problem is that when Hibernate fetches SQL query results there is no simple way to tell which child element belongs to which collection. See this blog entry for more detailed explanation with an example. To summarize you have following workarounds:

• Load each collection separately using subselect @Fetch(FetchMode.SELECT)
• Force usage of list instead of bag by adding index column @IndexColumn(name="LIST_INDEX")
• Use unordered collection like Set.

If you are using Hibernate and you do not care using Hibernate annotations :

Annotate your collection fields with:

@LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)

Remember to remove the fetchType attribute from the @OneToMany annotation.
