hibernate and lazyloading problem

[whackity]

In my DAO layer, I have the following method which does takes out all of the domain objects.

public List<Contractor> getAllWithLists&#40;&#41; throws DataAccessException
   &#123;
      HibernateTemplate ht = new HibernateTemplate&#40;getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.getSessionFactory&#40;&#41;&#41;;
      return &#40;List&#41; ht.execute&#40;new HibernateCallback&#40;&#41; &#123;
          public Object doInHibernate&#40;Session session&#41; throws HibernateException &#123;
              Query query = session.createQuery&#40;
                  "from Contractor contractor order by contractor.id"&#41;;
              
              List<Contractor> contractors = query.list&#40;&#41;;
              for &#40;Contractor contractor &#58; contractors&#41;
              &#123;
                 contractor.getBankInfos&#40;&#41;;
                 contractor.getLicenses&#40;&#41;;
                 contractor.getCreditCards&#40;&#41;;
                 contractor.getInsurances&#40;&#41;;
              &#125;
              return contractors;
          &#125;
      &#125;&#41;;
   &#125;

The reason why I have the getBankInfos(), getLicenses(), etc is because I currently have the Contractor class to be lazy-loaded and I'm "touching" them so that they will be loaded.

My problem is when I call the code:

ContractorDao contractorDao = (ContractorDao) context.getBean("contractorDao");

List<Contractor> contractors = contractorDao.getAllWithLists&#40;&#41;;
      
for &#40;Contractor contractor &#58; contractors&#41;
&#123;
    System.out.println&#40;contractor.getFirstName&#40;&#41;&#41;;
    System.out.println&#40;contractor.getBankInfos&#40;&#41;.size&#40;&#41;&#41;;
&#125;

When it gets to the line where it's printing out the getBankInfo().size() it throws an exception.

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.localtree.domain.pojo.contractor.Contractor.bankInfos - no session or session was closed
	at org.hibernate.collection.AbstractPersistentCollection.throwLazyInitializationException(AbstractPersistentCollection.java:191)
	at org.hibernate.collection.AbstractPersistentCollection.initialize(AbstractPersistentCollection.java:183)
	at org.hibernate.collection.AbstractPersistentCollection.read(AbstractPersistentCollection.java:48)
	at org.hibernate.collection.PersistentSet.size(PersistentSet.java:110)
	at com.localtree.test.dao.TestContractorDao.main(TestContractorDao.java:82)

I know that the bankInfo List is populated in the DAO layer but when I pass it up, Hibernate tries to lazy-load it. I'm confused because I want the object to be detached from the Hibernate Session by the time I pass it up from to the calling code. How do I achieve that?

I think I realized my problem. My code (calling code and DAO code) need to participate in a transaction for Spring to associate the two in one Hibernate Session. Does that sound right?
