Jesper, I tried running your test, which gives a lazy-loading exception trying to access the Set<BeanB> from BeanA. If you change your Hibernate mapping to use lazy="false" then the problem goes away.
I think you will find that your OpenSessionInView filter is not opening a session. The net result is that a connection gets opened just long enough to execute your get() for BeanA and then closes. I don't have a solution for you, but it's a similar problem to trying to use the HibernateTemplate outside of a web-app. I have some command-line tools that look like: .... this.session = SessionFactoryUtils.getSession(sessionFactory, true); TransactionSynchronizationManager.bindResource(sessionFactory, new SessionHolder(session)); ... do stuff with DAO's after setting template, session ... SessionHolder holder = (SessionHolder) TransactionSynchronizationManager.unbindResource(sessionFactory); SessionFactoryUtils.releaseSession(holder.getSession(), sessionFactory); Take a look for similar lines in the OSIV filter source.
