As for I read in the Hibernate reference manual, lazy initializaiton only affects to one-to-one and many-to-one relationships. So, what does it happen when you have a one-to-many relationship like the one in father-sons? How are collections managed then?
Collections can be marked as lazy too. See section 6.2 or the 2.1.7 reference entitled: "Mapping a collection"

What is the diference between fetch="join", fetch="eager-join" and feth="outer-join"? Or what's similar, can anyone tell me the diference between FetchMode.JOIN, FetchMode.SELECT and FetchMode.EAGER?
