Description

I get this error when converting object to json-string with json-b:

javax.json.bind.JsonbException: Internal error: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: test.Task.logs, could not initialize proxy - no Session

Task is a JPA Entity having logs-property as a lazy defined relationship, thus it's a proxy. I dont bother to include logs-property within json string.

Json-B should treat unresolvable proxies as null values by default instead of not generating a json-string and rethrowing exception.

Research direction

Reproduce JSON-B conversion of a JPA Task with a lazy logs relationship after its session is closed, then trace how Yasson handles the unresolved proxy. Done means serialization completes and represents the unresolvable logs value as null instead of rethrowing the JsonbException.
