I have gotten the managed-bean to obtain an EntityManager reference now by calling: | EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("lynxManager"); | EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager(); | I still cannot inject it via: | @PersistenceContext(unitName="lynxManager") | private EntityManager em; | or via: | @PersistenceUnit(unitName="lynxManager") | private EntityManagerFactory emf; | I believe I've tried every concievable iteration and cannot seem to get any injection scheme to work within a JSF managed-bean. I suppose I have a workable solution, but according to the aforementioned Sun reference (here) I should be able to inject this... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Scott Wall View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993632#...
