[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Extended Persistence Context without EntityManager

Hmm, what you said makes perfect sense, though I feel that I did not do a good job of stating my question. As a proud owner of JPwH I can positively say that I understand that Hibernate is a provider of the JPA standard (and a very good one!) Let me try to be a bit more clear. I want to put my Hibernate session factory (or Session?) in the conversation scope so that it reattaches to the JDBC data source on a new request, but still uses the same first-level session cache. However, I would like to be able to do so without the EJB-microcontainer. It appears that Seam must rely on the microcontainer to use the extended persistence context, and when it does so, it always appears to inject it using the EntityManager as a target. Perhaps this pseudo-code would be more clear. I want to be able to do: @PersistenceContext(type=EXTENDED) | Session session; Is something like this possible? Or would it be more like the configuration below? <core:managed-hibernate-session name="extendedSession" scope="conversation" /> Basically, if there were anyway that the Seam developers could provide an example of a long running conversation that avoids the use of detacted objects using ONLY hibernate sessions, we would do backflips for you.
