# Configuring Read Whole Document

Previous

Next

When mapping an XML Type to a Document Object Model (DOM), by default TopLink uses the database representation of the DOM. This allows for lazy loading of the XML data from the database.

However, if you require the entire DOM, (or if you require the DOM to be available in a disconnected fashion from the database connection) use the Read Whole option to retrieve the entire DOM from the database.
