entities returned from Queries that are created from transaction scoped entity manager used without jta, should be detached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-2899 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2899 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: JPA / Hibernate Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1 Reporter: Scott Marlow Assignee: Scott Marlow JPA 2.0 section 3.8.6 Query Execution: " Query and TypedQuery methods other than the executeUpdate method are not required to be invoked within a transaction context, unless a lock mode other than LockModeType.NONE has been specified for the query. In particular, the getResultList and getSingleResult methods are not required to be invoked within a transaction context unless such a lock mode has been specified for the query.[47] If an entity manager with transaction-scoped persistence context is in use, the resulting entities will be detached; if an entity manager with an extended persistence context is used, they will be managed. See Chapter 7 for further discussion of entity manager use outside a transaction and persistence context types. " AS7-2781 has a test case that demonstrates that this doesn't happen (the Query is currently commented out). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
