I am pretty new to hibernate but I was able to use hibernate objects within EJBs. My problem is that I have a table in the database called Asset, I can access methods in Asset inside of a seession bean but when I return the Asset object to the JSF managed bean and try to access it I get this error

Here is the client java code JSF managed bean

Asset test = null;


Long id = null;
String name = null;

//get list of Asset beans from database
try{
AssetServiceLocal service = (AssetServiceLocal)help.getEJBObject(true,beanHome,
AssetServiceLocalHome.class);
test = service.getAssetsByDistrict(7L);
}
catch (Exception e1){
e1.printStackTrace();
}

System.out.println("getAssetNames: assets size = " + test.getAssetName());
************************8

here is the session bean method
ssetDAOExt astD = (AssetDAOExt)bf.getFactory().getBean("AssetDAOExt");


List<Asset> astList = astD.findByOrganizationId(ast);


System.out.println("Asset list size = "+ astList.size());
for(Asset as: astList){
System.out.println("Asset Name = " + as.getAssetName());
}
return astList.get(0);
************************************

the for loop in the session bean prints out all asset names in the Array list fine... when the first asset is passed back to the calling function i cant access anydata in the object.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong is it possible to pass around hibernate objects?
