Hibernate: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role, no session or session was closed

Question

My code:

    @Test
public void testAddRoleAndAddUser() {

    Role r = roleDao.findByProperty("name", "admin");
    if(r == null) {
        r = new Role();
        r.setName("admin");
        r.setDescription("Just administrator.");
        roleDao.save(r);
    }

    User u = dao.get(1l);
    Set<Role> roles = u.getRoleSet();
    logger.debug("Roles is null: " + (roles == null));
    roles.add(r);
    dao.save(u);
}

Anyone help?

Answer 1

You're most likely closing the session inside of the RoleDao. If you close the session then try to access a field on an object that was lazy-loaded, you will get this exception. You should probably open and close the session/transaction in your test.

Answer 2

Check this link is in spanish but you can translate it, it has also some references to another documentation.
