lazyinitalizationexception with wildfly 14: could not initialize proxy - the owning session was closed

Question

If I run my code with wildfly 14 server I get following excpetion. The same code worked with wildfly 13. Where could be the problem?

I have to explicitly load the lazy proxy reference for the merge operation in Wildfly 14. Like this it works.

Wildfly 13 and before:

@Transactional
public class VergleichDAOImpl implements VergleichDAO {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;


    @Override
    public void save(Vergleich vergleich) {     

        if(vergleich.getId() == null) {
            em.persist(vergleich);
        } else {
            em.merge(vergleich);
        }
    }

Wildfly 14

@Transactional
public class VergleichDAOImpl implements VergleichDAO {

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager em;


    @Override
    public void save(Vergleich vergleich) {     

        if(vergleich.getId() == null) {
            em.persist(vergleich);
        } else {
            Benutzer benutzer  = em.find(Benutzer.class, vergleich.getBenutzer().getId());
            vergleich.setBenutzer(benutzer);
            em.merge(vergleich);
        }
    }
