Hi, I'm having the same problem as "Yee":
----- >From >http://users.myfaces.markmail.org/search/?q=SEVERITY_ERROR%20+%20Lazy%20Initialization#query:SEVERITY_ERROR%20%20%20Lazy%20Initialization+page:1+mid:owa2rp34hfcx4l42+state:results I have a jsf page that with a simple action as follows: public String myAction() { try { myService.doSomething(); } catch (Exception e) { String msg = e.getMessage(); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, msg,msg)); } Return ResultPage; } I find that when an exception did actually occurs, the ResultPage will raise an hibernate initialization error. However if I change FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR to FacesMessages.SEVERITY_WARN, the page will display OK. I am using last night's build of MyFaces 1.1.3 snapshot plus Tomahawk 1.1.2 Snapshot. I only noticed this problem after changing to Facelets, so I do not rule out Facelets as a culprit. Does anybody noticed this behaviour? What is the explanation for the difference in behavior? This is something that is bugging me big time, so I would appreciate any help. Many thanks in advance. Yee ----- My problem is strictly the same. I'm in big troubles because i'm unable to solve it. Does anybody understand why severity_error could cause such an exception? Many thanks in advance. Alex.
