This is the entityManager I use in the application. Usually I can inject it using the component name, but in this case, since I have the annotation @Intercept(NEVER), I can't do that. Actually getting the component with a JNDI look up should work. I didn't even think of it. I get seam makes a lot of things easy and then I don't even think of the obvious. Thanks.
