Handling your own transaction in seam is a nasty business, but here's how to do it :) in components.xml : | <core:init debug="true" jndi-pattern="@jndiPattern@" | user-transaction-name="java:/UserTransaction" /> | to commit a transaction: | UserTransaction tx = (UserTransaction) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); | entityManager.flush(); | if (tx.getStatus() == Status.STATUS_ACTIVE) | tx.commit(); | You'll probably need to start another transaction in order to avoid seam throwing 'no transaction' exceptions when the request is finished. good luck, -Dustin View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4089086#...
