[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: persist() / remove() at end of long running conversation

persist(), even with FlushMode.MANUAL, will do an immediate SQL INSERT if the identifier generator of the entity requires this. For example, 'identity' does, while 'sequence' can generate identifier values pre-INSERT. If you call persist() outside of transaction boundaries (TransactionType.NOT_SUPPORTED on your EJB method), it is allowed to defer insertion for pre- and post-insert identifier generators. The entity instance is then considered managed, but hasn't an identifier value assigned until the next flush of the persistence context occurs. http://www.manning.com/bauer2 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3998270#...
