Ok, but ias fas as I can see the data writing is commited. I can log on the database and see the correct data. If I start a new application the correct data is read from the database. However the "Seam Managed Persistence" (SMP) does not re-read already read rows without an explicit refresh(). To me it seems like the EM used by the SMP is holding on to stale data. Is there a way to turn on some logging to see the diffrent transactions and the their states and also to see what actuall data hibernate is reading/writing?
