[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Extended Persistence Context without EntityManager

[dan.j.allen]

This may be a silly question, but bare with me.  Is it possible to have an extended persistence context without using an EntityManager (rather a native Hibernate Session)?  By that, I mean that you can retrieve an object, render the view, and on postback, the following will still be true, because the previous Session is restored.

conversationScopedObject == session.get(conversationScopedObject.getId());

The reason I ask is because I am trying to get an understanding of what Seam/EJB 3 provides that Seam/Hibernate does not.  I want to avoid using a detached object to do basic CRUD, and to do so I would imagine that the best way is to use the extended persistence context (otherwise known as session-per-conversation pattern).  I don't want to go hacking up a solution.  I am interested to know if this is something that is supported by Seam without EJB 3.  If it isn't, then I will understand why EJB 3 is necessary.
