<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="com.BiddingSystem.Models.ForumMessage" table="FORUMMESSAGE">
        <id name="ForumMessageId" type="long">
            <column name="FORUMMESSAGEID" />
            <generator class="native" />
        </id>
        <property name="ForumMessage" type="java.lang.String">
            <column name="FORUMMESSAGE" />
        </property>
        <many-to-one name="User" class="com.BiddingSystem.Models.Users" fetch="join">
            <column name="UserId" />
        </many-to-one>
        <property name="DatePosted" type="java.util.Date">
            <column name="DATEPOSTED" />
        </property>
        <many-to-one name="Topic" class="com.BiddingSystem.Models.ForumTopic" fetch="join">
            <column name="TopicId" /> 
        </many-to-one>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

and I am using the follwing code:

Session session = gileadHibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();

            SQL="from ForumMessage";


    System.out.println(SQL);
    Query query=session.createQuery(SQL);
    System.out.println(query.list().size());
    return new LinkedList <ForumMessage>(query.list());

Answer 1

<many-to-one name="User" class="com.BiddingSystem.Models.Users" fetch="join" lazy="false">

You need to add lazy=”false” as well.
