Sorry, what doesn't work? What exception do you get? I don't really understand the code (e.g. it seems that Person example is an entity but nowhere do you load/inject it, just do a pojo instantiation; I would expect associations rather than ids to link objects), but the checkin method itself seems fine in concept: 1) Ask attendanceEditor for a new attendance record 2) Populate it 3) Tell attendanceEditor to persist it View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3976704#...
