EJB3.1 JSF2.0 CDI ejbRef conversion - java-ee-6

Question

I am developping a project using JSF2.0/Primefaces, EJB3.1, Hibernate.
I created an enterprise application, injected EJB3 Facades into JSF Managed Beans using CDI and created web pages that call the managed beans. When i run the project i am able to list data rows and view row details but the problem appears when i select one row from the datatable and click edit or remove button.
SEVERE: org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.procc.jpa.Alert.responseCollection, could not initialize proxy - no Session
SEVERE: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to convert ejbRef for ejb AlertFacade to a business object of type interface com.procc.dao.AlertFacadeLocal

This is code snippet:
#ManagedBean(name = "alertController")
#SessionScoped
public class AlertController extends AbstractController<Alert> implements Serializable {
#Inject private AlertFacadeLocal ejbFacade;
private Class<Alert> itemClass;
private Alert selected;
private List<Alert> items;
private enum PersistAction {
CREATE,
DELETE,
UPDATE
}
public AlertController(){
itemClass = Alert.class;
}
public void delete(ActionEvent event) {
String msg = ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Bundle").getString(itemClass.getSimpleName() + "Deleted");
persist(AlertController.PersistAction.DELETE, msg);
if (!isValidationFailed()) {
selected = null; // Remove selection
items = null; // Invalidate list of items to trigger re-query.
}
}
private void persist(AlertController.PersistAction persistAction, String successMessage) {
if (selected != null) {
this.setEmbeddableKeys();
try {
if (persistAction != AlertController.PersistAction.DELETE) {
this.ejbFacade.edit(selected);
} else {
this.ejbFacade.remove(selected);
}
JsfUtil.addSuccessMessage(successMessage);
} catch (EJBException ex) {
String msg = "";
Throwable cause = JsfUtil.getRootCause(ex.getCause());
if (cause != null) {
msg = cause.getLocalizedMessage();
}
if (msg.length() > 0) {
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(msg);
} else {
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(ex, ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Bundle").getString("PersistenceErrorOccured"));
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(ex, ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Bundle").getString("PersistenceErrorOccured"));
}
}
}
In JSF page i got:
<p:panel header="#{bundle.ListAlertTitle}" style="border:0px;">
<p:dataTable id="datalist" value="#{alertController.items}" var="item"
selectionMode="single" selection="#{alertController.selected}"

Strange error!
I tryed to do an explicit conversion to AirportFacade and that solved the problem!! I don't know why could'nt it do the implicit conversion? and why does it need conversion from first place ??
if (persistAction != PersistAction.DELETE) {
((AirportFacade)ejbFacade).edit(selected);
} else {
((AirportFacade)ejbFacade).remove(selected);
}
Please, if anybody got the answer let me know.
Thanks.
