How to fix org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException – could not initialize proxy – no Session

If you using Spring mark the class as @Transactional, then Spring will handle session management.

@Transactional
public class MyClass {
    ...
}

By using @Transactional, many important aspects such as transaction propagation are handled automatically. In this case if another transactional method is called the method will have the option of joining the ongoing transaction avoiding the “no session” exception.

WARNING If you do use @Transactional, please be aware of the resulting behavior. See this article for common pitfalls. For example, updates to entities are persisted even if you don’t explicitly call save
