You can config any persistence context you like for a home, using entity-manager="#{mine}". Or, if you dont like that, you can alias any name you have to "entityManager", using . Or, you can extend EntityHome, and override getPersistenceContextName() or even getPersistenceContext(). And you are asking me for yet another way to confuse users with extra switches and options? No way! :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4020660#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
