I changed my username to @iosparkletree. The "io" stands for input-output, and to me represents the balancing of the universe. The "sparkle" is because I love unicorns, rainbows, glitter, and such. The "tree" I wanted something earth-based, and bonus: it's a data structure.
Even though I made the above changes to my practice a while ago (last spring?) I still relish in the glory because that change made me better at my job every day since then. :)
happy moments at work! Every time I encounter a Hibernate LazyInitializationException, I'm like, "bring it on!" because because I've learned how to deal with those errors: use NamedEntityGraphs. Come on compiler, throw me another!
The NamedEntityGraph uses javax.persistence.EntityManager, which you can wire up in Spring. To do that, I had to move the database credentials from a properties file into the Spring config. This required the use of Maven's resource filtering, adding another layer of triumph.
