Can anyone explain why I would get a LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy - no Session when I clearly have a session open?

I've put a whole load of logging in my code and the meesage in the log prior to the exception is as follows:


As you can see a transaction exists (is it possible to have an active transaction without a session??)

Any ideas?

Andy,
Could you post some more information: dbms, hibernate version, full stack trace, test code, entity classes, etc.
