Lazy Initialization Error in Java

I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: could not initialize proxy - no Session
    at org.hibernate.proxy.AbstractLazyInitializer.initialize(AbstractLazyInitializer.java:167)
    at org.hibernate.proxy.AbstractLazyInitializer.getImplementation(AbstractLazyInitializer.java:215)
    at org.hibernate.proxy.pojo.javassist.JavassistLazyInitializer.invoke(JavassistLazyInitializer.java:190)

    at JSON_to_XML.createBpmnRepresantation(JSON_to_XML.java:139)
    at JSON_to_XML.main(JSON_to_XML.java:84)

when I try to call from main the following lines:

Model subProcessModel = getModelByModelGroup(1112);
System.out.println(subProcessModel.getElement().getNote());

I implemented the getModelByModelGroup(int modelgroupid) method firstly like this :

    public static Model getModelByModelGroup(int modelGroupId, boolean openTransaction) {

        Session session = SessionFactoryHelper.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();     
        Transaction tx = null;

        if (openTransaction)
            tx = session.getTransaction();

        String responseMessage = "";

        try {
            if (openTransaction)            
                tx.begin();
            Query query = session.createQuery("from Model where modelGroup.id = :modelGroupId");
            query.setParameter("modelGroupId", modelGroupId);
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            List<Model> modelList = (List<Model>)query.list(); 
            Model model = null;
            // Cerco il primo Model che è in esercizio: idwf_model_type = 3
            for (Model m : modelList)
                if (m.getModelType().getId() == 3) {
                    model = m;
                    break;
                }

            if (model == null) {
                Object[] arrModels = modelList.toArray();
                if (arrModels.length == 0) 
                    throw new Exception("Non esiste ");

                model = (Model)arrModels[0];
            }

            if (openTransaction)
                tx.commit();
            return model;

        } catch(Exception ex) {
            if (openTransaction)
                tx.rollback();
            ex.printStackTrace();
            if (responseMessage.compareTo("") == 0)
                responseMessage = "Error" + ex.getMessage();
            return null;        
        }

and got the exception. Then a friend suggested me to always test the session and get the current session to avoid this error. So i did this:

public static Model getModelByModelGroup(int modelGroupId) {

        Session session = null;
        boolean openSession = session == null;
        Transaction tx = null;
        if (openSession){
          session = SessionFactoryHelper.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();   
            tx = session.getTransaction();
        }
        String responseMessage = "";

        try {
            if (openSession)            
                tx.begin();
            Query query = session.createQuery("from Model where modelGroup.id = :modelGroupId");
            query.setParameter("modelGroupId", modelGroupId);
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            List<Model> modelList = (List<Model>)query.list(); 
            Model model = null;
            for (Model m : modelList)
                if (m.getModelType().getId() == 3) {
                    model = m;
                    break;
                }

            if (model == null) {
                Object[] arrModels = modelList.toArray();
                if (arrModels.length == 0) 
                    throw new RuntimeException("Non esiste");

                model = (Model)arrModels[0];

            if (openSession)
                tx.commit();
            return model;

        } catch(RuntimeException ex) {
            if (openSession)
                tx.rollback();
            ex.printStackTrace();
            if (responseMessage.compareTo("") == 0)
                responseMessage = "Error" + ex.getMessage();
            return null;        
        }

    }

but still get the same error. I have been reading a lot for this error and found some possible solutions. One of them was to set lazyLoad to false but I am not allowed to do this thats why i was suggested to control the session

What is wrong here is that your session management configuration is set to close session when you commit transaction. Check if you have something like:

<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> 

in your configuration.

In order to overcome this problem you could change the configuration of session factory or open another session and only than ask for those lazy loaded objects. But what I would suggest here is to initialize this lazy collection in getModelByModelGroup itself and call:

Hibernate.initialize(subProcessModel.getElement());

when you are still in active session.

And one last thing. A friendly advice. You have something like this in your method:

            for (Model m : modelList)
            if (m.getModelType().getId() == 3) {
                model = m;
                break;
            }

Please insted of this code just filter those models with type id equal to 3 in the query statement just couple of lines above.
