Thanks for the tip, is there a jBPM sub-forum of the Seam forum? I can't find a link to it :( I thought it was more relevant to the Seam forum than the jBPM forum as my question is more about how to access jBPM database objects through Seam in a conversation safe manner. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my original post... I obtain a hibernate Session, capable of querying jBPM entities: | @In | private JbpmContext jbpmContext ; | ... | Session hibernateSession = jbpmContext.getSession() ; | but this session does not remain active for the duration of the Seam conversation (like a Seam Managed Persistence Context would) - so I get a LIE. My question is really: Can I access jBPM entites using a SMPC? If so, how do I configure it? If not, are there any alternatives/ workarounds. Thanks in advance, Pete.
