hi, I have a very simple code snippet.

public List<Order> findAll() {
try {
List<Order> retList = getHibernateTemplate().find("From Order");

if (retList != null && !retList.isEmpty()) {
for (Order order: retList) {
getHibernateTemplate().initialize(order.getLines());
}
}

return retList;
} catch (RuntimeException re) {
throw re;
}
}

It keeps failing at

getHibernateTemplate().initialize(order.getLines());

org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy - no Session
at org.hibernate.proxy.AbstractLazyInitializer.initialize(AbstractLazyInitializer.java:57)
at org.hibernate.proxy.AbstractLazyInitializer.getImplementation(AbstractLazyInitializer.java:111)
at org.hibernate.proxy.pojo.cglib.CGLIBLazyInitializer.invoke(CGLIBLazyInitializer.java:150)

I set lazy="true" (by default) at Lines Set in Order. I am using Spring servlet to wire the DAO into my service object. If I remove initialize() line, it's ok as long as I don't access Lines set. Any thought?

Thanks.

bump up for answer ...

Does getHibernateTemplate() always create a new session.

If I put

Session sess = getSession(false) at the begining. I got

No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here.

I thought it should share one session at least in one thread (in this case, one method).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

false alarm, I got it sorted out.
