Getting LazyInitializationException on JUnit Test Case

Question

Problem running JUnit Test inside a Spring MVC Application. Test 1 (insertTweet) seems to run fine, however on Test 2 I get an "LazyInitializationException" Exception (see full stactrace below). I understand why it is thrown but not sure why the session is closing and how to reopen it at the begining of every test 2 (or keep the existing session open for the remaining tests to complete)? I have pasted the entire StackTrace thrown along with Test Classes.

org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.project.user.User.tweets, could not initialize proxy - no Session

Answer 1

add the @Transactional on your test methods – ben75 Nov 6 '13 at 14:29

Yeah, I have solved the problem:

        @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
        @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath*:applicationContext.xml"})
        @Transactional
        public class UserinfoActionTest extends StrutsSpringJUnit4TestCase<UserinfoAction> {
                @Test
            public void testLogin2(){
                          request.setParameter("jsonQueryParam", param);
                String str = null;
        try {

                    str = executeAction("/login.action");
                    HashMap<String,List<TUserinfo>> map = (HashMap<String,List<TUserinfo>>)findValueAfterExecute("outDataMap"); }
 catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

            }


        @Controller
        @Results({  
            @Result(name="json",type="json"
                    , params={"root","outDataMap","excludeNullProperties","true"
                            ,"excludeProperties","^ret\\[\\d+\\]\\.city\\.province,^ret\\[\\d+\\]\\.enterprise\\.userinfos","enableGZIP","true"
                    })
        })
        public class UserinfoAction extends BaseAction {
                    @Action(value="login")

            public String login(){
                if(jsonQueryParam!=null && jsonQueryParam.length()>0)
                {
                    user = JsonMapper.fromJson(jsonQueryParam, TUserinfo.class);
                }
                Assert.notNull(user);
                 //RESULT="ret" addOutJsonData: put List<TUserinfo> into outDataMap with key RESULT for struts2 JSONResult  
                addOutJsonData(RESULT, service.login(user));
                return JSON;
            }
