I read that a Seam-managed persistence context returns a manager that is the same for the whole conversation. So that is definatly not the same as a (Extended) persistence context using the @PersistenceContext annotation. But how do I get an entity manager that works the same as a normal PersistenceContext or an Extended PersistenceContext?
