Thanks for your response! I tried overriding the find()-method with the following: | @Override | public Employee find() { | EntityQuery eQuery = (EntityQuery)Component.getInstance("employeeIdByEmploymentNumber"); | Long l = null; | if(eQuery.getResultCount() > 0) | l = (Long)eQuery.getSingleResult(); | | getEntityManager().joinTransaction(); | Employee result = getEntityManager().find( getEntityClass(), (l == null ? getId() : l)); | if (result==null) result = handleNotFound(); | return result; | } | I then aimed the commandButton towards /viewEmployee.xhtml, and added to the -tag for it, but it gives me LazyInitializationException and TransientObjectException. I wasn't really sure on what to do with the overridden find method, since I'm not really sure why my session is closed, and why it works when I reload the page.
