I am using a stateful EJB to manage user sessions on a web app, and manage the state of an Employee entity EJB that contains the user's information. The user information is returned as a bean by calling the getUserBean() method of the stateful EJB, which first attempts to use the persistence manager refresh() method, then creates and returns a bean object with the updated data. This code was working in JBoss 4.0.4.GA, but I am now deploying to JBoss 4.0.5.GA and it is now throwing a "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Entity not managed" error. The error is being caused by the call to the refresh() method of the EntityManager. Does anybody know why this code no longer runs in 4.0.5.GA, or what needs to be changed to get it running in the latest version? Here is the relevant code: UserSessionFacadeBean.java - I have traced the error to the em.refresh() call bolded below: @Stateful(name="UserSessionFacade") | public class UserSessionFacadeBean implements UserSessionFacadeRemote, | UserSessionFacadeLocal { | @PersistenceContext(unitName="warehaus") | protected EntityManager em; | | private Employee _user; | private boolean _initialized = false; | | public UserSessionFacadeBean() { | } | | public void initializeUser(String userId) { | Collection<Employee> rsEmployee = | em.createNamedQuery("findEmployeeByUserId").setParameter("userId", userId).getResultList(); | | if (rsEmployee.size() == 1) { | Iterator<Employee> iter = rsEmployee.iterator(); | if (iter.hasNext()) { | this._user = iter.next(); | _initialized = true; | } | } | } | | public UserBean getUserBean() { | UserBean userBean = new UserBean(); | | if (_initialized) { | // Refresh the Employee entity | em.refresh(_user); | | userBean.setEmployeeId(_user.getEmployeeId()); | userBean.setUserId(_user.getUserId()); | userBean.setFullName(_user.getFirstName() + " " + _user.getLastName()); | userBean.setFirstName(_user.getFirstName()); | userBean.setMiddleInitial(_user.getMiddleInitial()); | userBean.setLastName(_user.getLastName()); | userBean.setEmailAddress(_user.getEmailAddress()); | userBean.setAkoEmailAddress(_user.getAkoEmailAddress()); | userBean.setRecStatusFlag(_user.getRecStatusFlag()); | userBean.setRoles(_user.getRoles()); | userBean.setPermissions(_user.getPermissions()); | userBean.setApplications(getUserApplications()); | } | | return userBean; | } | } Employee.java @Entity | @NamedQueries({ | @NamedQuery(name="findAllEmployee", | query="select object(o) from Employee o"), | @NamedQuery(name="findEmployeeByUserId", | query="select object(o) from Employee o where upper(o.userId) =
