Biggest Hibernate mistake?

[paul nisset]

What do you see as the biggest mistake people make when using Hibernate ?

[srinivas guruzu]

I would have to say proper utilization of hibernate (may be not a mistake). I think the association mappings are done all the time, but when it comes to inheritance mapping, it is not fully used. So is fetching complete entities all the time when only certain scalar values are required. Of course this is from my experience.

Thank you.

So is fetching complete entities all the time when only certain scalar values are required.

Being a novice with Hibernate, what do you do to address this?
Do you create abridged classes that contain only your pertinent values?

We can acheive this by using SQL query to get a list of scalars instead of generic "select * from"

An interesting technique. I never knew.
