Hi, there are some things you should keep in mind when you are doing things like this. ;-) - Are you mixing user transactions with CMT? - Is SomeDAO.insert() committing the data to the database? - What are the CMT settings of the findByPrimaryKey() method? - And what are the CMT settings of the createSomeInfoMethod()? What I want to say is: Only if the DAO method has really committed the data, you are able to read them using an entity finder.
