Donatas, There's nothing stopping request scoped entity managers, from a spec level. The spec is referring to the inject of resources via @Resource and similar annotations (e.g. PersistenceContext).

Resources" contains: /The container is not required to support resources with scope other than @Dependent. Portable applications should not define resources with any scope other than @Dependent./ Yet the CDI spec itself has examples like the one in section "3.4.2. Declaring a disposer method": @Produces *@ConversationScoped* @UserDatabase public *EntityManager* create(EntityManagerFactory emf) { return emf.createEntityManager(); } Most best practices recommend @RequestScoped EntityManager producer (e.g.: DeltaSpike JPA module: http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/jpa.html <http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/jpa.html> ). Thus please consider explicitly allowing NormalScoped EntityManager producers. Donatas -- View this message in context: http://cdi-development-mailing-list.1064426.n5.nabble.com/Review-comment-...
