Because I am using Seam only for the presentation layer (and Spring for the rest) obviously I have no seam managed persistence context. If I would nevertheless like to store (hibernate) entities inside my long running conversations I run into many problems. I always get LazyInitializationExceptions because my entities from a previous request (but from the same conversation) are no longer associated with the current session. What is the easiest way to manually re-associate all detached entities in my conversation with the new session of the current request? I tried to study the Seam source code but did not discover which trick Seam uses to achieve this so smoothly an transparent. FYI: I'm using Seam 2.0.0.BETA1 and Hibernate 3 (and Spring 2).
