isLoaded

boolean isLoaded(Object object)

Determine the load state of an entity regardless of the persistence provider that created it. This method can be used to determine the load state of an entity passed as a reference. An entity is considered loaded if all attributes for which FetchType EAGER has been specified have been loaded. The isLoaded(Object, String) method should be used to determine the load state of an attribute. Not doing so might lead to unintended loading of state.

Returns:

false if the entity has not be loaded, otherwise true.
