Fetching entity of multiple level using criteria hibernate

Question

I have the following structure:

A.java

private long id;
private String name;
private B bObj;
// getter-setter

B.java

private long id;
private List<B> bList;
//getter-setter

As you can see the structure is recursive.

Now I want to write a Criteria that fetches an object of A along with bObj , bObj.bList , bObj.bList.bList , bObj.bList.bList.bList & so on where no. of level of join is not known.

Any other way except Criteria is also welcome.

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

if you set fetch type to LAZZY on List bList; it could be enough, but I don'tknow if it isn necessary to set Maximum outer join fetch depth for hibernate to max level of bLists.
