title: JPA equivalent command to Hibernate.initialize
body: <p>I have a Lazy collection that I want to initialize at will in my service/controller. At this moment I can do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Hibernate.initialize( myEntity.getListOfThings() );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This command is hibernate dependent and does not make the implementation of JPA transparent. Is there a JPA elegant way of doing this? </p>
