failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: User.authorities, could not initialize proxy - no Session

Question

In my Spring Boot/Data/JPA application I have a following entity:

@Entity
@NamedEntityGraph(name = "graph.User", attributeNodes = { @NamedAttributeNode("authorities") })
@Table(name = "users")
public class User extends BaseEntity implements UserDetails {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 8884184875433252086L;

    @Id
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "users_id_seq", sequenceName = "users_id_seq", allocationSize = 1)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO, generator = "users_id_seq")
    private Long id;

    ...

    @JsonIgnore
    @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinTable(name = "users_authorities", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "user_id") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "authority_id") })
    private Set<Authority> authorities = new HashSet<Authority>();

}

This is my Spring AuthenticationService :

@Service
public class AuthenticationService implements UserDetailsService {

    @Autowired
    private UserService userService;

    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {

        User user = userService.findByUsername(username);

        if (user == null) {
            throw new UsernameNotFoundException(String.format("User %s does not exist!", username));
        }

        return user;
    }

}

During the application startup I'm receiving following exception:

org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.example.common.model.user.User.authorities, could not initialize proxy - no Session

How to configure my application in order to correctly handle User.authorities with FetchType.LAZY ?

Answer

Give it a try;

In Service;

User user = userService.findByUsername(username);
user.getAuthorities().size(); //You may need call this line in userService.findByUsername(username); method

In User;

public Set<Authority> getAuthorities(){
    return authorities;
}
