Acegi + lazy loading

[paul4christ79]

My UserDao.loadByUsername() returns a UserDetails implemented by a User class. Hibernate is the loader of the User, and the User/UserDetails becomes the Authentication object for Acegi.

So basically this means I have a detached User entity in subsequent requests.

I want to be able to reuse the User in other requests, and so I had a filter which reattached the object to the current OSIV session. This worked, except when I found out that concurrent requests by the user would make the application bomb :-) The User has a collection of Roles and Hibernate does not allow collections to be associated with more than one session.

So what's the correct solution? Do I just simply not use the User/Authentication object? Reload the User from the database on each request?

What user data is it you are trying to lazy load? Depending on how it's used it might make sense to eagerly load it anyway.

The user is attached to a parent account which has a collection of sibling users.
