I am using seam, however, this is more of a hibernate question. I would like to retain the laziness of my hibernate managed beans, however, when I am using a stateless session bean, I would like to turn on eager fetching for that instance, otherwise I'll get the Lazy Exception. I did a quick search and was not able to find how to do this, could someone point me in the right direction?
