Lazy Loading / Eager fetching in Hibernate -

i have set property lazy="false" in hbm file column contact in table "employee"

the below query executed retrieve employee id 5:

select e employee e e.id = 5 

on execution, number of queries being executed , guess due non lazy loading.

how make sure 1 query executed? can change query keeping property lazy false? if not, should change in query retrieve record?

i'm using spring+hibernate

based on query, i'm going assume you're using hql this. i'm going assume contact reference.

select e employee e left join fetch e.contact e.id = 5
