I tried doing this in the xhtml itself: | <s:convertEntity entityManager="#{anotherEntityManager}" /> | and it still wanted to go look for entityManager. Actually it gives that error if the variable name is not the same as the component name. If it I get this error: | Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert org.jboss.seam.persistence.EntityManagerProxy@41d260 of type class org.jboss.seam.persistence.EntityManagerProxy to interface org.jboss.seam.core.Expressions$ValueExpression | at org.jboss.el.lang.ELSupport.coerceToType(ELSupport.java:358) | at org.jboss.el.ValueExpressionImpl.getValue(ValueExpressionImpl.java:188) | at com.sun.facelets.el.TagValueExpression.getValue(TagValueExpression.java:71) | at com.sun.facelets.tag.TagAttribute.getObject(TagAttribute.java:233) | ... 78 more | Any ideas?
