[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (WELD-664) Support declaration of an EntityManager resource through a passivating-scoped producer method

Support declaration of an EntityManager resource through a passivating-scoped producer method --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-664 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-664 Project: Weld Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Producers (Methods, Fields and Disposers) Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta1 Environment: All environments Reporter: Sivakumar Thyagarajan Priority: Minor Fix For: TBC If an EntityManager resource is made available through a Producer method and the method is annotated with a passivating scope as shown below, Weld today fails with this error message: " WELD-000053 Producers cannot declare passivating scope and return a non-serializable class" --- producer method snippet --- @PersistenceUnit(unitName = "UDEMpu") private EntityManagerFactory emf; @Produces @ConversationScoped @UserDatabase public EntityManager create() { return emf.createEntityManager(); } --- producer method snippet --- The current workaround is to not use a "passivating scoped" producer method and fall back to annotating the "passivating scoped" producer field with @PersistenceContext. Pete's idea is to enhance the user experience for a user who expects this to work by proxying the EMF and ensuring that the createEntityManager returns a proxy that is Serializable.
