有时你有两个实体它们之间有关系。例如，你可能有一个实体叫University，另一个实体叫Student，一个University可能有很多Student:

University实体可能有一些基本属性，如id、名称、地址等，以及一个名为students的集合属性，它返回给定大学的学生列表:

public class University {
   private String id;
   private String name;
   private String address;
   private List<Student> students;

   // setters and getters
}

现在，当您从数据库加载University时，JPA将为您加载它的id、名称和地址字段。但是你有两种选择:

将它与其他字段一起加载(即急切地加载)，或者 在调用大学的getStudents()方法时按需加载它(即惰性加载)。

当一所大学有很多学生时，加载所有的学生并不是有效的，特别是当他们不需要的时候，在这种情况下，你可以声明你想要在实际需要学生的时候加载他们。这被称为惰性加载。

下面是一个例子，学生被明确地标记为急切加载:

@Entity
public class University {

    @Id
    private String id;

    private String name;

    private String address;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    private List<Student> students;

    // etc.    
}

这里有一个例子，学生被明确地标记为惰性加载:

@Entity
public class University {

    @Id
    private String id;

    private String name;

    private String address;

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<Student> students;

    // etc.
}

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)

默认情况下，对于所有的集合和映射对象，获取规则是FetchType。LAZY，对于其他实例，它遵循FetchType。急切的政策。 简而言之，@OneToMany和@ManyToMany关系并不隐式地获取相关对象(集合和映射)，但检索操作通过@OneToOne和@ManyToOne中的字段级联。

基本上,

LAZY = fetch when needed
EAGER = fetch immediately

检查Main.java的retrieve()方法。当我们获取Subject时，它的集合listBooks(带有@OneToMany注解)将被惰性加载。但是，另一方面，Books与集合主题相关的关联，带有@ManyToOne注释，会快速加载(@ManyToOne的[默认值][1]，fetchType=EAGER)。我们可以通过放置fetchType来改变这种行为。在@OneToMany Subject.java或fetchType上执行EAGER。LAZY on @ManyToOne in Books.java。

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();
    }
}
