Question

I used NH 3.2 mapping by code and I tryied Nhibernate Mapping Generator http://nmg.codeplex.com/ which looked a great tool.

I found a big difference between my code and theirs. On each class they have a call to the function LazyLoad(). (Although I thinked that it was the default behaviour)

Now I fear that my application doesn’t use lazy loading, does someone know the default behaviour of nh 3.2 with mapping by code ? (when we don’t call the LazyLoad method)

Regards

Answer 1

Depends on the default-lazy attribute of the hibernate-mapping tag which can be changed in Fluent NHibernate by adding the DefaultLazy.Always() or DefaultLazy.Never() convention.

If no default-lazy attribute is defined (no convention added in Fluent NHibernate), lazy loading is enabled.
