@PersistenceContext won't work unless your class is @Stateful or @Stateless, AFAIK. Why are you not using a Seam component rather than a POJO? Seam's whole mission in life is managing your persistence context across multiple requests, conversations, sessions, etc. In similar cases in my app, I have Seam components that inject the EntityManager, and then I explicitly pass it into any POJOs that need it. This ensures I'm using the correctly scoped EntityManager for the current state of my Seam app. Cheers, Rob View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3967598#...
