I am running into hibernate exceptions because of lazy-loaded collections in a jax-rs application.
The entities are loaded during Resource.handle() and the collections are being requested during the write of the MessageBodyWriter. When I implement 'OpenSessionInView' as a restlet Filter the session is already closed when the representation is streamed. When I implement it as a ConnectorService (inspired by this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@restlet.tigris.org/msg07220.html) I run into a similar problem, namely that there is no TransactionSynchronizationManager during Resource.handle(), and hence that the sesion available during streaming is a different one (and hence, I still get lazy initialization problems). I could open the Hibernate session in a Filter.beforeHandle and close it in the connector.afterHandle, but that seems dangerous for leaking sessions (when Resource.handle() throws an exception ConnectorService.afterSend() is not called). Is there an API with 'before' and 'after' calls which span both the Resource.handle and the MessageBodyWriter.write?
