While this isn't going to help you now, you might be interested in that we intend to solve a lot of these issues with our forthcoming Pimento data management framework (Open Source): http://www.spicefactory.org/pimento/ The problems with closed sessions and huge object graphs will be solved through "FetchPlans". There will be a default fetch plan which is to not serialize any uninitialized Hibernate proxy or collection but to include all simple properties and initialized associations. But the default can be overwritten for individual calls with FetchPlan instances created in AS3. Jens Halm Spicefactory
