I did some simple experiments using entityManager.getDelegate() and these
are what I observed:
1) The Hibernate Session backing the EntityManager for the SessionBean is
always the same for the current session of the user
2) The Hibernate Session injected into the ManagedBean is always a new
Session, of course different from that in use by the container EJB
Now we can choose to:
1) Ignore this !!
2) Don't ignore and try to figure out if this way we can find different
object using the find method
3) Use the SessionContext to point to the current Hibernate Session of the
Stateful EJB (what I proposed, but we are discussing about its complexity)
In my opinion adding two lines of code to the current template to inject
the SessionContext and then get the business Interface is comparable to
that of writing a new managed bean and inject in it a different
EntityManager.
What do you think ?
