Seam is wonderful i like it more and more but one have to take the blinkers off:-) The configuration is as easy as putting | <factory name="session" value="#{bazDatabase}"/> | OR | <factory name="entityManager" value="#{bazDatabase}"/> | | in components.xml. This is described in chapter 4.2 I can't say why i had the position that this is not applicable in my context:-( I had to repeat to myself: Seam is easy and consistent. Perhaps some repetition in the docs in chapter 10( framework) with a concret example of this is a good idea.
