Well, I actually tried almost anything possible that is elegant enough, I also tried to a add the referenced entity as a property for the EntityQuery but nothing, | Address address; | | getter/setter | and in the view I have added an EntityConverter for this address via a SelectOneMenu/selectItems, then I get a EntityManager is closed exception, I think the problem is due to the fact that the generated EntityQuery via Seam-Gen is not bound to any conv/session contexts, and keeping the search parameters/values is done via parameters specified within the page descriptor. This is -too- basic, I am definitely sure there's a way to add restrictions based on -entities- associated to the main entity that being fetched except of criteria based on primitive datatypes ! anyone? :) Asaf.
