Well, I hate to reply to my own post but you can work around this simply by enlisting a transaction. Of course, if you use more than one persistence unit (I do) you have to then change to XA data sources, but it's not completely dead in the water. It would be nice to get a new release of the current SVN code since it's all there. Thanks, Derek View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4084520#...
