> Using a persistence-context-ref element in the web.xml of a web module, it appears that this causes an EntityManager instance to be injected only once into the ENC of this component.
> However, the EJB 3.0 spec states in section 16.2.1:
> "In general, lookups of objects in the JNDI java: namespace are required to return a new instance of the requested object every time."
> So the observed behavior seems to violate the spec. In addition, this is particularly troublesome since an EntityManager is explicitly not thread-safe. Using the same EM instance for simultaneous requests therefor doesn't work. 
> Of course there are several other methods to obtain an EM reference, for instance binding an EM factory directly to JNDI and using that to obtain the reference.
