This is what I have for the entity manager in components.xml | <core:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" | persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/xxx.xxx.comEntityManagerFactory"/> | A lot of my queries are loaded form SLSB DAOs that get their entity manager by | @PersistenceContext | public EntityManager entityManager; Is there a better way to inject the entity manger that will us the SMPC or is it already using the SMPC?
