Hi nickarls Read chapter "11.3.2. Extended session and automatic versioning" of Seam Reference Manual Version 1.2.1 GA. You can chance the flushMode of a session by calling: | Session s = (SessionImpl) entityManager.getDelegate(); | s.setFlushMode(FlushMode.NEVER); | This prevents seam from closing the session automatically after the request finished But you have to flush an close the session manually! | s.flush(); | s.close(); | Greetings Ralph View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4089576#...
