Guys,
I have a question regarding this filter. Actually it keeps the underlying Hibernate / JPA session open upon each request to a web component. Now say I have a
jsp page where I have a list of countries and I have an entity that has country and city as fields with the city field being lazily loaded. Now when I request for the page that has the country, I issue a hql to fetch my list of countries. Now where does this concept of lazy loading come into picture when I click on a country on the screen to fetch the list of cities in a country? All I have to do is to submit a new request, start a new transaction to fetch all the details. I mean is the filter functionality only per request or can it sustain beyond? As per the specification of JSP /
Servlets, the filters are done once the response is sent back to the client. I'm just thinking if that session can go beyond?? I would like to have some interesting discussions on this point here.
