Hi, I've read about the Hibernate entity persistence strategy on http://tapestry.apache.org/hibernate-user-guide.html As I do not want to be Hibernate-specific, I searched for an equivalent for JPA and found it not in the guide, but searching in Eclipse: JpaSymbols.ENTITY_SESSION_STATE_PERSISTENCE_STRATEGY_ENABLED This seems to enable the entity persistence strategy for session state objects. Applying this doesn't make the error go away, though.
I'm gonna include some code excerpts here, maybe I've done something horribly wrong. In AppModule: public static void contributeApplicationDefaults( MappedConfiguration<String, Object> configuration) { configuration.add(JpaSymbols.ENTITY_SESSION_STATE_PERSISTENCE_STRATEGY_ENABLED, "true"); } My session state object: public class AppSession { private User loggedInUser; private Date loginDate; public AppSession(User loggedInUser) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException { this.loggedInUser = loggedInUser; this.loginDate = new Date(); } public User getLoggedInUser() { return loggedInUser; } public Date getLoginDate() { return loginDate; } } The user entity: @Entity @NamedQueries ({ @NamedQuery(name=User.FIND_BY_USERNAME, query="SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.username = ?1") }) public class User { public static final String FIND_BY_USERNAME = "User.findByUserName"; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY) @NonVisual private long id; @Validate(value="required") @Column(nullable=false,unique=true) private String username; @Lob @Column(nullable=false) private byte[] password; @Column(nullable=false) @Validate(value="email") private String email; @ManyToMany @JoinTable private Set<UserGroup> groups; public User() { groups = new HashSet<UserGroup>(); } public Set<UserGroup> getGroups() { return Collections.unmodifiableSet(groups); } Creating the session in my layout component (excerpt): @SessionState AppSession session; public Object onActionFromLogout() { session = null; return Index.class; } void onValidateFromLoginForm() { authenticatedUser = appAuthenticator.authenticateUser(userName, password); } Object onSuccessFromLoginForm() { session = new AppSession(authenticatedUser); } Authenticating a user: public User authenticateUser(String username, String password) throws NoExistingUserException, CryptoUtilException { User user = userDAO.findUserByName(username); return CryptoUtil.checkHash(CryptoUtil.calculateHash(password), user.getPassword()) ? user : null; Using the session state object in a page: public class Hauptseite { @SessionState private AppSession session; void setupRender() { for (UserGroup group : session.getLoggedInUser().getGroups()) { System.out.println(group.toString()); } } Any pointers? Do I have to use the user as a direct SessionState object? Can't I use a wrapper class? Regards, Daniel P. Von: Poggenpohl, Daniel Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

Reading about it in the documentation, they recommend using @SessionState because my user is a complex object, also containing lists of other entities. My user also is an entity in a database. So, when a user logs in, the appropriate entity is retrieved from the database, an "AppSession" object is created containing, among e.g. the time of login, the user object. Is this the right way to do it? Or should I only store the ID in the session? Now when the SessionState object is created, it can be used in any other page or component using the same SessionState annotation and the same type. Does it need to be the same name I'd say it doesn't, as I've not read otherwise. My user contains lazy collections of other entities. Every page of my app contains the layout component which provides the login area and serves to create the session object for the app, retrieving the user entity in the process. A page containing the layout component itself contains another component where these lazy collections are needed. The user logs in, the SessionState object is created, the user entity is stored inside the object. The page is requested again, and the component is initialized/rendered. The component contains a reference to the SessionState object. Inside the component, a tree should display objects of the lazy collection. To do this, a service receives the user. The service tries to access the lazy collection, but fails with a "failed to lazily initialize a collection of role:". What I gather from this is, services don't operate within transactions? UPDATE: I tried to access the lazy collection from the component itself, but the error was the same. Even from the page, the error still was present. This leads me to the point that I may be doing something wrong using an entity in a session storage?
