I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that, but, taking the simplest explanation :P I can connect to the DB (pgsql) using a variety of tools, and I can ping the connection pool from the GlassFish admin tool. I'm specifying the dialect in my persistence.xml, and connectivity with the DBMS seems to be fine. I'm at a loss for what to do. I have to have a prototype working by Wednesday at noon, and I had hoped to be using Seam to get it going. I had it working with Spring and decided to give Seam a shot at handling the EMF/EM as that looks like a more elegant solution, but I'll take working over elegant if I have to. :P Thanks!
