Almost, I would like one able to just disable it, this way the serializer
doesnt need anything or knowledge of hibernate. Worse case we need to
integrate with the serializer in a way close to the one i proposed for
johnzon before.

In pseudo code it would be:

AnEntity e = find();
Hibernate.disableLazyExceptionWithNull(e);
serializer.serialize(e);

the switch of lazyexception to null would work wit jaxb. Otherwise you need
some more low level integration not portable IIRC.

Think we all agree (or agreed already ;)) but created this thread cause i
saw it often enough to be a need.
