[seam-dev] automatic loading of persistence units in JBoss AS 5

[Dan Allen]

Btw, this remains a Seam issue until we can get the Spring example to
work on JBoss AS 5. Any Seam user that uses Spring + JPA + the
@PersistenceContext annotation (via the
PersistenceContextAnnotationPostProcessor) will not be able to deploy
to JBoss AS 5.
