Hi, I am using a Seam Managed Entity Manager for a JTA datasource with the Flush mode set to manual for business use cases, in Seam conversations. I was just wondering when does Seam actually get a JDBC connection? 1. At the beginning of web request? 2. As soon as EntityManager operations are performed? 3. When flush is invoked by the Application? The reason why I ask is because I am wondering how this approach will scale. I need to know how long the conversation will hang onto the connection.
