Yes, I want to prevent flushing of the persistence context. I will give Seam-managed PC a try. But this raises another question. I am leaning towards keeping all entities objects contained in sfsbs rather than outjecting them into the conversation scope. If the sfsb is passivated, will the entity be detached from the seam-managed PC? Thanks again. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4064044#...
