As described under http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Job+Module?focusedCommentId=91127909#comment-91127909 there are suggestions in AbstractJob's code that anything extending AbstractJob will be wrapped in a proper transaction context and hibernate session and therefore not run into problems such as throwing LazyInitializationExceptions.

This is not currently the case, as mentioned at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Job+Module?focusedCommentId=226787558#comment-226787558
