Hello,

I have a lazy many-to-many association between 2 objects (let's say 'Category' and 'Product'). When I expose the Category object through a webservice I do not want the products collection (IList) to be exposed so I added [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute()] on the property.

Now I have the following exception "Hibernate.LazyInitializationException: Failed to lazily initialize a collection".

Is there a way to solve this issue ?

Thanks,

Gengis
