aggressiveLazyLoading doesn't work as document says

document says about aggressiveLazyLoading:

When enabled, an object with lazy loaded properties will be loaded entirely upon a call to any of the lazy properties. Otherwise, each property is loaded on demand.

But the actual result is when I call method on an non-lazy propertiy, the lazy load is also triggered.

I agree to change the default value to false.

You are probably right. With aggressive lazy loading, the properties are loaded as soon as any method is called in the class. So if MyBatis calls a setter and does not disable the lazy load temporarily, all lazy properties will loaded.

I cannot confirm if versions before 3.1.0 were working differently back then. I remember that lazy load was quite aggressive, but I think it did not load all the lazy properties.

Disabling lazy loading while MyBatis is setting known properties is feasible, but I don’t think many people is using aggressive lazy load so it may not be worth the time.
