Yes, this works. Context ctx = new InitialContext(); | EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = (EntityManagerFactory) ctxlookup("java:/myprojectEntityManagerFactory"); | entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager(); But isn't there a better way to do this? It would be great if I could obtain Seam components (e.g. Log). View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4072879#...
