Key API
Lazy Loading
JPA specifies that lazy loading is a hint to the persistence provider that data should be fetched lazily when it is first accessed, if possible.
If you are developing your application in a Java EE environment, you only have to set fetch to javax.persistence.FetchType.LAZY, and EclipseLink persistence provider will supply all the necessary functionality.
When using a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping in a Java SE environment, to configure EclipseLink JPA to perform lazy loading when the fetch attribute is set to FetchType.LAZY, configure either dynamic or static weaving.
When using a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping in a Java SE environment that does not permit the use of -javaagent on the JVM command line, to configure EclipseLink JPA to perform lazy loading when annotation attribute fetch is set to javax.persistence.FetchType.LAZY, you can use static weaving.
