Though it is possible to plug in third-party adapters such as dpHibernate and Gilead to support the direct serialization/deserialization between Hibernate entities and AMF, setting them up for the simplest case is more complex than is desirable. Spring BlazeDS Integration should provide out-of-the-box support for serializing Hibernate entities. The goal will be to avoid LazyInitializationExceptions while also keeping lazy associations from being initialized unnecessarily. This initial approach will allow use of the detach/re-attach pattern that we see most prevalently in typical Spring web applications.
