Hibernate Criteria: Emergesel loading the Manytomany collection

@Entity
public class Order {

 @ManyToMany
 private List items;

 @ ManyToMany
 private List discountEntries;

 ...

}

Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(Order.class)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.SELECT)
 .setFetchMode( "discountEntries", FetchMode.SELECT);
criteria.list();

Criteria criteria = getSession ().createCriteria(Order.class)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.JOIN)
 .setFetchMode("discountEntries", FetchMode.JOIN);
criteria.list(); 

Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(Order.class)
 .createAlias("items", "items", CriteriaSpecification.INNER_JOIN)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.JOIN)
 .createAlias("discountEntries", "discountEntries", CriteriaSpecification.INNER_JOIN)
 .setFetchMode("discountEntries", FetchMode.JOIN);
criteria.list();

List list = criteria.list();
Hibernate.initialize(list);

My question seems simple, but I can’t seem to find a valid answer. I have a Hibernate entity that has a ManyToMany association with another entity, which is obtained lazily by default. I want to create a Criteria and it will return Entity, and eagerly loaded the ManyToMany association.

This is the entity in question (irrelevant parts removed):

@ Entity
public class Order {

 @ManyToMany
 private List items;

 @ManyToMany
 private List discountEntries;

 ...

} 

The following are my notable attempts and results so far:

Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(Order.class)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.SELECT)
 .setFetchMode("discountEntries", FetchMode.SELECT);
criteria.list();

– load items lazily

Criteria criteria = getSession().createCriteria(Order.class)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.JOIN)
 .setFetchMode(" discountEntries", FetchMode.JOIN);
criteria.list();

– Cannot retrieve multiple bags

Criteria criteria = getSession( ).createCriteria(Order.class)
 .createAlias("items", "items", CriteriaSpecification.INNER_JOIN)
 .setFetchMode("items", FetchMode.JOIN)
 .createAlias("discountEntries", "discountEntries", CriteriaSpecification.INNER_JOIN)
 .setFetchMode("discountEntries", FetchMode.JOIN);
criteria.list();

– Back An empty list

Edit: Added another ManyToMany association, because this seems to be part of the problem.

Use the LAZY setting to get the collection And:

List list = criteria.list();
Hibernate.initialize(list);

This will initialize immediately , Only applicable in this case.
