I am passing an entity with a lazy loaded property from one session bean to another sessionbean and getting a LazyInitializationException. It's still inside of jboss so I don't understand why it can't load it. Is this expected behavior? If so, what is the correct way to do it. Heres a simple example of what I am talking about.


@Entity
@Table(name = "LazyChild")
public class LazyChild implements java.io.Serializable {
private Integer key;
private String name;

@Id @GeneratedValue
@Column(name="LazyChildKey")
public Integer getKey() { return key; }
public void setKey(Integer key) { this.key = key; }

public String getName() { return name; }
public void setName(String s) { name = s; }
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "Test")
public class TestEntity implements java.io.Serializable {
private Integer key;
private LazyChild lazyChild;

@Id @GeneratedValue
@Column(name="TestKey")
public Integer getKey() { return key; }
public void setKey(Integer key) { this.key = key; }

@OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "LazyChildKey")
public LazyChild getLazyChild() { return lazyChild; }
public void setLazyChild(LazyChild l) { lazyChild = l; }

}

@Stateless
@RemoteBinding (jndiBinding="TestSessionHelper")
@Remote(TestSessionHelper.class)
public class TestSessionHelperBean {
@PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager em;

public void useLazyChild(TestEntity entity) {
entity.getLazyChild().getName();
}

}

@Stateless
@RemoteBinding (jndiBinding="TestSession")
@Remote(TestSession.class)
public class TestSessionBean {
@PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager em;

@EJB TestSessionHelper m_sessionHelper;

public void doIt() {
TestEntity entity = em.find(TestEntity.class, 1);
m_sessionHelper.useLazyChild(entity);
}

}

public class ClientSideTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
TestSession session = (TestSession)ctx.lookup("TestSession");
session.doIt();
}
}


When I deploy these session beans and run ClientSideTest.main I get the following exception on the server side.
