I don't know if it is the best place to do it, but...

I am in a big project with JPA(Hibernate), Spring and Richfaces

We built it in a way that we got a great productivity, but the lazy fetch...

I solved it by using OpenEntityManagerInView and since our model is too complicated, we clone some objects whose life continues after a request.

But in my point of view we should not worry about that.

My suggestion is that Hibernate gives us a choice to use a feature, and it could be that the Lazy load engine stores in the persistentBags or proxies a reference to the factory that created the session and when the session is closed, it creates a new session just for the fetch or maybe have an opened session associated to the Thread.

This way we would not worry with lazy loads.

Thx

So.. does anyone agree?

Is it a good idea?
