I have scoured this site among others for answers in getting OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter to work. I have a standard User object that references a roles object with a many to many relationship as a set. When I am try to edit my user from the controller I get the dreaded lazy init exception. For the most part it seems that this should be very trivial to implement by simply adding this to your web.xml:
<filter>
<filter-name>oemInViewFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>
org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>oemInViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Now to things I have tried without success (these are various suggestions from around the web)
- Move the above declaration to very top of the web.xml
- Slap @Transactional around my controller method and/or whole class
- Obviously switching fetch type to eager works, but defeats my intentions here
- Playing with where I have my entityManagerFacorty defined
- Verified that OpenEntityManager is present in the lazy init exception, thus its being fired off
About the only thing that I have read that makes sense to me as why this isn't working is that I am loading two different sessions because of how my persistence layer is set up and the filter is grabbing the wrong one.
Heres the method in my controller where I find a user from the database and causes the lazy init exception because it didn't retrieve roles from the user object.
@RequestMapping(value = "/edit/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String edit(@PathVariable final Integer id, final ModelMap modelMap)
{
final User user = userDao.find(id); ******This causes the lazy init exception
if (user != null)
{
modelMap.addAttribute("userInstance", user);
modelMap.addAttribute("validRoles", new HashSet<Role>(roleDao.findAll()));
return "/user/edit";
}
return "redirect:/user/list";
}
Here is my relevant setup:
Web.xml:

Let me know if this isn't enough relevant information.
EDIT
UserDao - this extends a GenericDao, I'll post this just below.
@Dao
public class UserDao extends GenericDao<User>
{
public User findByUsernameAndPassword(final String username, final String password)
{
final Query query = entityManager.createQuery("from User user " + "where user.username = :user " + "and user.password = :pass ")
.setParameter("user", username)
.setParameter("pass", password);
return uniqueResult(query);
}
public List<User> findByRole(final Role roleIn)
{
if (roleIn == null)
{
return null;
}
final Query query = entityManager.createQuery("select user from User user, Role role where role = :roleParam ").
setParameter("roleParam", roleIn);
return query.getResultList();
}
}
GenericDao
public class GenericDao<T extends BaseDto>
{
protected Class<T> entityClass;
@PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager entityManager;
public GenericDao()
{
final ParameterizedType genericSuperclass = (ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass();
this.entityClass = (Class<T>) genericSuperclass.getActualTypeArguments()[0];
