I may consider performance and memory utilization. One big difference is that EAGER fetch strategy allows to use fetched data object without session. Why? All data is fetched when eager marked data in the object when session is connected. However, in case of lazy loading strategy, lazy loading marked object does not retrieve data if session is disconnected (after session.close() statement). All that can be made by hibernate proxy. Eager strategy lets data to be still available after closing session.

有一个小小的评论: 如果你使用惰性类型，如果你关闭会话，你以后将不能从数据库中获取数据(参见下面的输出)。

但是对于Eager类型，你在获取Instructor的同时获取数据，所以在session.close()之后，你将能够使用/显示这些课程列表数据。

  @OneToMany(//fetch = FetchType.EAGER, 
        fetch = FetchType.LAZY,  
           mappedBy = "instructor",        
           cascade = {CascadeType.DETACH, CascadeType.MERGE,
                CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH})
private List<Course> courseList; 

我建议在调试模式下尝试这两种方法。在这种情况下，我使用惰性类型，你可以看到。

 try {
        //start the transaction
        session.beginTransaction();

        //Get instructor from database
        int instructorId = 7;

        Instructor tempInstructor = session.get(Instructor.class,instructorId);

        System.out.println("Instructor: "+tempInstructor);


        //commit transaction
        session.getTransaction().commit();

       //close session
       session.close();

       //since courselist is lazy loaded... this should fail
       //so in here we are not able to fetch courselist data
       //get courses
        System.out.println("Courses "+tempInstructor.getCourseList() );


        System.out.println("Done!");

    } finally {
        session.close();
        factory.close();
    }
}

输出异常:

这两种类型的抓取之间的主要区别是数据加载到内存中的时刻。 我附上了2张照片来帮助你理解这一点。

急于获取

延迟获取

据我所知，这两种类型的取回取决于你的要求。

FetchType。LAZY是按需的(即当我们需要数据时)。

FetchType。EAGER是即时的(即在我们的需求到来之前，我们不必要地获取记录)

来自Javadoc:

EAGER策略是持久性提供程序运行时的一个要求，即必须急切地获取数据。LAZY策略是对持久性提供程序运行时的一个提示，即在第一次访问数据时应该以惰性方式获取数据。

例如，渴望比懒惰更主动。Lazy只发生在第一次使用时(如果提供者接受了暗示)，而对于急切的东西(可能)会被预取。

如果你在使用Hibernate，你可以在调用getStudents()方法时调用Hibernate.initialize():

Public class UniversityDaoImpl extends GenericDaoHibernate<University, Integer> implements UniversityDao {
    //...
    @Override
    public University get(final Integer id) {
        Query query = getQuery("from University u where idUniversity=:id").setParameter("id", id).setMaxResults(1).setFetchSize(1);
        University university = (University) query.uniqueResult();
        ***Hibernate.initialize(university.getStudents());***
        return university;
    }
    //...
}
