i have two entities :

public class Products {
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "product")
    private Set<StockedProducts> stockedProducts;
}

public class StockedProducts {


    @Id
    @ManyToOne (cascade = CascadeType.MERGE)
    @JoinColumn(name = "productId", foreignKey = @ForeignKey(name = "fk_product"), referencedColumnName = "id" )
    private Products product;

The Products and StockedProducts are linked with a one to many relationship.

when i fetch the data from the StockedProducts side it fetches the associated Products entity normally.But when i fetch data from the Products side the StockedProducts entity comes up empty. From what i understand the fetch type is set to lazy by default but even when i declare it as eagre it still returns the set empty.
