I have a Struts2 application that make a call to a Seam sesion bean.

1. Struts2 application is a plain web application deployed on jboss.

2. Seam application is an ear deployed on the same jboss.

After I call the EJB i get an Entity and when I try to navigate on its relations (e.g. getChildren()) i get LazyInitializationException.

What is the best idea to solve this?

Should I make a JNDI lookup of PersistenceUnit in an interceptor or in a filter to create something like OpenSessionInView in my struts2 application?
Any link pointing me near to a solution will be very appreciated.

Note: Struts application already uses HibernateTransactionManager in which sessionFactory is injected by spring.

Transactions are provided by spring AOP.

Please help.

Thank you.
