When would you get LazyInitializationExceptions using SMPC? If you have lazily-loaded collections, am I correct to assume that because the persistence context is alive everywhere within the conversation, that lazily-loaded collections are loaded when accessed, hence you never see LIE anymore? i.e. No need to make them EAGER, but still no LIEs anymore...everything's loaded on-demand?
