I have a question that's slightly related... What if I want to use an existing EntityManager that's defined in an SE setting? The JPA example in the distribution seems to be closest to what I want, but my persistence.xml already contains all the information needed to connect to a database. I would like to avoid the microcontainer to manage the connection and datasource, is this possible at all? JTA is not necessary, transaction-type is defined as RESOURCE-LOCAL...
