So something like this? <taken from your seamdiscs example> <core:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" | auto-create="true" | persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/csbEntityManagerFactory" /> So the CRUD framework uses a different entity manager than my Session Beans? Also, since you are adding the seamdiscs example to Seam 1.3 and now that Trinidad has an official release, would it be possible to include more of Trinidad's features like PPR and the Dialog framework in your example so there is the some concrete example of these things working with Seam? It would be highly beneficial to me as well as others I am sure. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4040992#...
